Personal Bio: Â Air Force Brat. Â Went to high school in Minot, ND. Â Was a computer and book nerd growing up and wanted to get into science and engineering. Â I took an Aeronautics class in high school and took the controls of a Cessna. Â Also would compete in self propelled balsa wood aircraft building and while my peers would buy kits, I always designed my own and of course never won because of that! Â I was always more of a rocketry type person. Â Life took a 180 and I ended up going to the University of Minnesota for 7 years studying jazz performance and music education with the goal of becoming a teacher. Â I'm a jazz and classical pianist, and I've done a lot of work with steel drums. Â I don't do much music work anymore, but I do play in a classic rock style band. Â After college, I did a 180 again and worked for and eventually became a superintendent of a large and busy funeral home and cemetery. Â While there I skydived for the first time with a coworker who had terminal cancer. Â I ended up breaking my tailbone on landing. Â It was a great experience to share though and I actually personally dug her grave and buried her myself. Â I currently am the account director and Google SEO analyst of a restroom and shower trailer company. Â My current work has been extremely supportive of my endeavors in ppg and because I can work remote too, they allow me to fly just about whenever I want, and travel often for gatherings. Â In general I'm kind of all over the place. Â I read a lot of science, history, astrophysics, and world event type stuff. Â I used to raise chickens and was into guerrilla gardening (basically planting huge green things all over the place).Ppg Bio: Â I got into ppg during a very difficult time in my life. Â Within a year's time frame, I got a divorce and walked away from my career which I had my entire self identity wrapped into. Â It absolutely killed me. Â During that time I followed Trent Palmer and thought it'd be neat to fly the way he did, but never would I have the budget to afford a bush plane. Â From there I started researching ultralights, and eventually found Tucker. Â I told myself if things improved, I'd take it up as I could do it safely, and fly without a cockpit which really interested me. Â Soon after, I found an awesome new job that paid me a lot more, appreciated me and gave me the freedom to pursue it. Â I trained in April of 2021 with my much younger brother. Â He wasn't even interested in ppg, he just wanted to share my adventure and turned out to be the best in the class. Â Training was tough because of bad weather, and I actually got lines in the prop my first take off attempt, and it was my personal wing too. Â After training, I didn't have a motor for over 4 months so I practiced ground handling the whole time which paid off when I returned to flight, because I didn't have to think about glider control not to mention I can easily launch in nil wind, or reverse in strong conditions. Â I ended up not returning to the first school and joined the Nebraska Paramotor community. Â My brother stopped pursuing ppg by that point. Â I've been flying regularly since last August and during that time I've flown at EFD, Salton Sea including the nearby canyons, Glamis, Arizona Flying Circus, Ak-Chin, AZ copper mine, Dauphin Island, the Florida panhandle, and Bad Apples. Â My current goal is to fly with purpose and practice and return to the fundamentals. Â Right now I'm working on landing accuracy and I'll end every flight with a 1000 foot climb up, motor kill, and spot land. Â Just recently started doing foot drags (which I told myself I wouldn't do, and now......... lol), big ears, and just starting to get into energy management a bit, barely scratching the surface though. Â Hope to work on my PPG 3 by early next year. Â I love flying and it's completely changed my life especially since I got into this as a destroyed person. Â I love the community to. Â I thought I was going to be a loner, but somehow someway managed to befriend a huge part of the community, by mostly just being my weird self. Â I'm pretty gregarious, I enjoy laughter and not taking oneself too seriously, and my personality ranges from a quiet active listener to a loud type A personality if I'm in the right environment. Â I started a Youtube channel prior, Hot Buttered Productions, which is a shared channel with my brother though he stopped making stuff. Â I enjoy making content because it can be a canvas for many things such as just being weird, funny, expressing something that means a lot to me without words, or creating a window into slice of life segments to show what it's like for someone that has struggled with this too. Â I openly talk about the struggles with the mental game, preflight anxiety, I was terrible at landings for a long while, just about
