Texas Born and Raised from the small town of Muleshoe Texas. Sam graduated from The University of Texas at San Antonio with a BBA In Finance and Real Estate Finance. He worked as an Underwriter Manager for 12 years before discovering his love for flying. He never thought that he would be flying but his flight attendant friends forced him to go get a discovery flight and let them know how was the experience.  He never looked back! His favorite aircraft is the Piper Cub - something about tailwheel bush-type planes. Outside of flying Sam enjoys family time, being home with the love of his life, son, and two dogs. Oh, and not to mention he loves shredding through the snow on a snowboard. The winters in Breckenridge, Colorado are one of his favorites. Sam joined Elevate at Nationwide Aviation full-time. He went from 0 to Hero with a 100% checkride pass in less than a year. Sam is a graduate of Nationwide Aviation's Elevate Professional Pilot Program! ​​​
