01 / ABOUT
Learning by
getting involved.
I like things that ask something of me. Teaching a nervous swimmer. Leading a ski team. Figuring out how an aircraft works.
I’m finishing high school at New Trier, where I balance classes with swimming, work, and ski racing. My jobs have taught me to show up prepared, communicate clearly, and take responsibility when people depend on me.
Aviation is where I want to go next. For now, I’m building experience, staying curious, and learning from the people around me.

03 / BEYOND WORK
There’s more
to the story.
The things I keep coming back to, whether I’m learning something new or just enjoying a day outside.
Aiming for the sky.
I want to become an airline pilot. Flight simulation has given me a way to explore aircraft, navigation, and the decisions behind a flight while I work toward that goal.
Always up for the climb.
Ski racing has been part of my life since 2016. Off the slopes, I enjoy hiking and mountaineering with my dad—from the mountains of Poland to Utah.
A different kind of focus.
Chess, trombone, and a good adventure book. I like having things that make me slow down, think, and get better with practice.
04 / OFF THE CLOCK
A few moments
worth keeping.
New places, good company, and the occasional very ungraceful moment in the snow.
A table with a view.
A London trip with my girlfriend. Good company, a new city, and a pretty hard-to-beat backdrop.
Not every run is a highlight reel.
Sometimes the best part of a ski day is the part where you’re not actually skiing.
