Training
I answered the call for my community as a volunteer firefighter with the Eastport Fire department. Although my experience with the department was a brief 1 year probationary period, I was honored to assist with a number of emergency calls ranging from motor vehicle accidents to brush fires. Due to life and medical circumstances I could not complete the required state training to become a certified firefighter.
As a passion project turned to an aspiring career, I pursued becoming a helicopter pilot. From Feb 2017 to March of 2020, between instructor assisted and solo trips, I flew over 80 logged hours while separately working to fund my endeavor. Due to the world experiencing covid 19 my dreams were literally and metaphorically grounded. As life went on the time from my last logged flight hour was recored to when I was able to fly again, government regulations from the FAA, forced me to have to start over to complete another 40+ hours to resubmit for my check flight.
