A corporate pilot and former Flight Instructor for Auburn University, I began my studies in Public Administration in 2009 in order to develop the skills and resources to both further my professional goals in aviation, and enhance my utility in the public domain. To that end, I have been using the tools developed in my coursework to further my career, church, and family. Having achieved those goals already, I desire to position myself as a future director in my department, or the Airport Administration, and am considering PhD studies in the future.
