Just About Me

Born in 1991 in (South) Korea, came to US back in 2007.
(So that makes me an American, right?)

FAQ About Me
1. Are you from North or South (Korea)?
Definitely North South Korea. Even for myself, I have never heard of someone coming from North honestly.
2. When you speak in English, do you think in Korean?
What the heck guys... I think like American. (Bilingual problems I guess)

Anyways...
Started high school in 2007 as a Freshman, graduated in 2011. (Go Cardinals!)

Honestly had no plan for higher education, so started going to a local college before I transferred to UT Arlington in 2012.
My majors was Aerospace Engineering. Although I didn't finish. Here's why.

In 2016, I joined US Army as an Utilities Equipment Repairer. Sounds fancy, right? I was just an AC technician.
Anyways, I came back to school, picked back up where I left, until I met my old friend who happened to be in my town working on his pilot certificate.

Oh look! My first flight! (I just had my hands on the yoke. Nothing much)
Friend of mine was kind enough to take me on his time building flight, and I got to see the skies and grounds.
That was cool. And you know what? It would be better if I could fly an airplane instead of building one, so why not go for a pilot certificate?
So yeah, I decided to take a big turn in my career, and signed up to the flight school my friend was going.

My one and only place of flight training, Skymates Flight Academy!
So starting May 9th, 2018, I have started my flight training. There were ups and downs, but regardless, I got to finish all my training, including Commercial Pilot, Single and Multi-Engine Airplane and Flight Instructor Airplane, Instrument, and Multi-Engine.
And that's just about it! Where am I now? Now I fly for a regional airline, hoping to land myself in a major airline sooner or later!.

As a Hobbyist

Oh boy, VIDEO GAMES! That's for sure. Other than that, I have couple other hobbies.

Clearly you can tell coding is also my hobby; I mean, if it wasn't, why would I built this website for, right?. I mainly like to code for firmwares (such as Arduino and other micro-controllers that are similar to it) but I am always open to try new codings such as this!
Other than that, I do like to build my own circuit board to tinker with. I should write about that sometimes.

Model building has been my hobby since 2021, but sadly I just can't find a good time to work on them. At least I have finished one so far!

IJN Yamato
My very first completed model - IJN Yamato!

Last but not least, my lastest interest; camping!

First Camping
My very first camping.
Now of course, not just any camping, but a SOLO camping!
