| Personal History | Born on Earth in Great Britian. His father was assigned by Starfleet to the American consulate. He always loved to fly. He got his first taste of flying when the family went to a museum that had old airplanes from the wars. After that, he started reading everything he could get his hands on. When he was 13, he hand built a replica of a functioning Sopwith Camel airplane. He took off from a field where his workshop was, but he didn't get far. The authorities detected his flight and shut him down. His airplane was confiscated, but he avoided arrest, but received instead a strong reprimand. From that point on, he did everything according to the rules. At age 17, he entered Starfleet command, majoring in fighter pilots. After 5 years at the Academy, he became a very good pilot. Upon graduating, he was recruited for fighter pilot training. He quickly showed that he had the right stuff to be a pilot. He has won numerous awards for bravery in the face of the enemy. He quickly moved up in rank from Lieutenant to Lieutenant Commander. He's now been assigned to the USS Wayfarer as the ship's new CAG. |
