Four years ago I married a woman waaaaay out of my league. Over the last 4 years I have somehow convinced her too stick around.

This blog follows my day to day life at a major United States regional airline. I typically post 10-20 blogs a month.

This has also been the most rewarding time of my life. I hope you enjoy my blogs.
