Dennis knew aviation was his true calling.

He began his aviation career with discovery flights for tourists after he realized his new calling while studying pre-med at the University of Illinois. He was then hired by a couple of smaller airlines and then transitioned to a United Express carrier.

“After my family immigrated to the states at the age of 14, I didn’t think I could become a pilot. I didn’t know anybody in the aviation field…I’m now proud to call myself a part of the United family, where I’m still learning to become not only a good pilot, but also a better person,” said Dennis.
