Favorite Place to Fly

Over the Golden Gate on July 4th

My first jobs out of school were in traditional aviation at United Technologies and Bombardier. Today, I really enjoy the Silicon Valley culture — the collaboration, speed, productivity, and impact — I can see improvements in our aircraft based on my personal effort.

My favorite flight location so far was in Sausalito, where I flew over the boats in San Franciso Bay. Time ceased to exist.

Q

Do you have a dream flight?

Not a dream flight exactly, but it would be neat to take off and land on water. With Helix, we'll do this uncrewed first, then crewed; I hope they pick me!
