Ever since I saw my first F-4 Phantom in flight, I was awestruck and I became obsessed with aviation. That passion began to follow me into my military career and it led me down a path to learn as much as I could about all aspects of aircraft and space vehicles, from their construction to their application in human advancement.
Fun Fact: I lived in Germany with my parents for several years and I became semi-fluent in German.
