Thanks for stopping by!

Since posting my first video on YouTube where I posed the question, “Is 53 too old to become an airline pilot?”, my life has been kind of a whirlwind.

Since then, the following things happened:

  1. I enrolled in flight school, earned 7 pilot ratings, and then built a crazy successful flight school
  2. Just 13 months after starting my training, I received a job offer from the largest US regional airline and I start my jet training with them in Feb 2025
  3. My YouTube channel became insanely popular with tens of thousands of other career 2.0 folks who’d dreamt of becoming airline pilots
  4. I earned a bunch of money and have had an absolute blast along the way!


Now that my goal of becoming an airline pilot has been achieved, I’m focused on my next goal, using all my time off to become a super-successful professional real estate investor with at least 20 doors in my portfolio over the next 36 months.

If that sounds interesting to you, I’d love for you to come along for the journey!
