The Pilot, the Writer—the Reason

As a digital calling card for a pilot, it seems fitting to have a personal landing page. Here on this binary runway, you'll find certain projects, passions, and thoughts of mine. If you must know the root reason why, well, it's for love of words. I have piloted across the Atlantic, north enough to spot icebergs floating off the coast of Greenland. What a sight! What an experience! What a far place away from home! I later sat in my London hotel room fumbling with an online thesaurus, searching my vocabulary for language that would adequately capture that scene. It was a puzzle, but what came of that puzzle was a passion for literature and the effect stories and characters have on people. Since then, I have written full-length works of fiction for my son, one anchored as far back as the 14th century. And though airplanes have rocketed me far from home, I hope my wholesome plots and their twists will soon rocket him farther. He's grown, still growing, and he's still the wellspring and reason for my literary adventures.
