At 14, a ride in a four-seat airplane over the city changed everything. He worked as a dishwasher and busboy, saving for flying lessons three weeks at a time. By 17 he had his pilot's license and went on to study aeronautical engineering.

When I was 14 years old, a friend of mine's father was going up for a flying lesson. He said, "If you want to come up for a ride, it's a 4-seater airplane." And I said, "Yeah, sure, I'll do it." We got up in the air and I was like, "Wow, this is so cool." It's like sitting in a lawn chair at 3,000 feet flying over the city. It was amazing. And I got to learn how to fly. I just decided at that point, I was still working as a dishwasher and busboy and things like that. I started taking flying lessons and I literally had to work for 3 weeks to save up enough money to take each flying lesson. I got my license when I was 17 and then I went to university for a degree in aeronautical studies. When I graduated high school.
