I could say that I loved airplanes since I was a little kid, watching Western Airlines arrive and depart at SLC (my favorite were the three-holers). But really, I think it would be more accurate to say that I really couldn't motivate myself to do anything else... I tried! I tried majoring in engineering, accounting, etc., and I worked numerous non-flying jobs, but it always came back to aviation--it was the only thing I could really, really give a crap about.
