I grew up on a dairy farm outside Buffalo NY, where I learned how to take things apart and fix them. I took a 2 year course in high school to learn the machining trade and spent 14 years as a machinist.

I joined the Army in 2007 and did 2 deployments to Iraq as a tank gunner. Much of my free time growing up was spent riding sport quads and dirt bikes until I found paramotors which changed everything.

I love what I do and love getting better at it.
