Can’t believe it’s been 30 years in this amazing hobby — and what a ride it’s been! I got my start flying with my dad, and it's been one of the best ways for us to bond over the years. The fact that we still fly together today? That’s the kind of joy you can’t buy.

I began with the good ol’ nitro days (remember that smell?), dabbled in gas for a bit, and eventually made the switch to electric — because let’s be honest, it’s just so much easier and lets you focus on what really matters: having fun in the sky.

Lately, I’ve been diving headfirst (pun intended) into head-tracked FPV and formation flying with friends — and let me tell you, it’s like unlocking a whole new level of flight. New challenges, new perspectives, plenty of laughs, and some midair collisions along the way.

Here’s to pushing boundaries, learning constantly, and loving every second of this incredible hobby!
