Anthony took a discovery flight after graduating high school, and you could say that the rest was history. From then on, he committed himself to pursuing his flight ratings while earning a bachelor's degree in aviation from his local college in Ohio.

Upon graduating from college, Anthony immediately started his pilot career at Cuyahoga County Airport (CGF) outside of Cleveland, Ohio as a Certified Flight Instructor. This brought back fond memories for him as it was the same airport that Anthony used to cut the grass for when he was younger.

During his time there, he enjoyed using his creativity and passion to help students accomplish their goals while also establishing a deeper personal knowledge of aviation. After a year serving as a flight instructor, he went on to fly cargo and built experience flying in and out of Canada in all weather conditions.

He moved on to Mesa Airlines, an Aviate United Express Carrier partner, where he joined Aviate and finally moved to Houston to have access to a network with United employees. He is grateful for the secure path Aviate gave him to United, which is where he always envisioned himself flying.
