Every time I am at the controls of an aircraft, I find myself rediscovering over and over again the passion I have for this spectacular career in aviation. As I grow within the career path of being a professional aviator, I find myself indulging in a great sense of accomplishment when reflecting on the tremendous challenges that I and my family have had to conquer. 

Soon after my start in the airline industry got off the ground, I discovered that I had an affinity for sharing good stories with my fellow pilots and crew.

Being a pilot in today's airline industry has its share of hurtles to overcome. After years of discussing those challenges with my fellow aviators, I picked up on the many varied ways most of them handle the stresses associated within this career field.

I created the Squawk Ident Podcast as a place to discuss how to navigate a modern professional airline career.  Together we will explore the pathways to an aviation profession, the realities of what a professional aviator can expect in todays marketplace, and we share many good stories along the way.

Join me on this adventure, and thank you for tuning in to Squawk Ident.
