I am a first generation American. My family migrated to the US from Sicily. I was raised in Everett and attended Everett public schools. At the age of 15, I started taking flying lessons. I attended Bridgewater State University and graduated in 2003 with a bachelor in aviation science flight training and a minor in aviation management. Over the past two decades in my professional career as a corporate pilot I have been blessed to have visited over 50 countries and counting. I have flown many notable people including former Presidents, Governors, high profile executives, and many celebrities.
The city of Everett gave me the tools to grow. Joining the Mass Badge Foundation over a decade ago was a way for me to give back to the community. Over the years it has become more than just an organization. We are a diverse group that puts the community first through various annual events. Seeing the impact we make first hand is the reason I love being part of the Mass Badge family.
