After graduating from Billings Skyview High School in 1991 I attended Cheyenne Aero Tech in Wyoming to obtain my Airframe and Powerplant certificate so that I could perform maintenance on all types of aircraft. After working in that industry I obtained my private pilot's license so that I could fly the planes as well. In 1994 I was given the opportunity to run a restaurant delivery business in Vancouver, BC, Canada. It was this opportunity that broadened my potential career path from just aviation to the business world. After living in Vancouver for 3 years I moved back to Billings to obtain a degree from Montana State University-Billings. While attending school full time I also worked full time in different supervisory roles in the aviation industry as well as restaurant/service industry. After receiving my degree (Bachelors in Business Administration - Specialty in Finance) from Montana State University-Billings in 2003 I went to work in the Real Estate industry.
