Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Airline pilot and former Canadian fighter pilot with a strong aerospace engineering foundation and a calm, methodical approach to high tempo operations. I currently fly the Airbus A321, operating international routes across North America, Central America, South America, and Europe, including extensive ETOPS and transatlantic WATRS experience on long haul sectors. My background includes fast jet operations on the CF-18 Hornet, where I earned a 2 aircraft combat ready formation leadership qualification and completed operational taskings including NATO Air Policing in Romania and G7 Summit air policing. I’m used to coordinating with large, dynamic airspace pictures, leading small teams, and delivering consistent performance under time pressure. I’ve also held a secondary duty focused on scheduling and coordinating pilot training and currency requirements. I bring a broad mix of airline discipline, tactical aviation decision making, and technical understanding from an Aeronautical Engineering degree, paired with a genuine interest in instruction and mentorship through gliding.
