I was born and raised in Dalton Gateway in the LHS 3447 system, which has an agricultural economy. My first job was in Hydroponics, but it was boring as hell, so I went to university where I studied Mining Engineering and Geology and got a job at the local station working on ore refining. I'd watch pilots deliver ores to the station and make more money than I was ever going to be able to!

In my spare time I learned all about being a pilot and eventually took and passed the Pilot's Federation evaluation. As soon as I got my licence though I headed off into the black, but it was nearly a disaster - I'd not fitted a fuel scoop to the Sidewinder and I nearly ran out of fuel - nobody tells you these things! Anyway I survived that one and now I'm a successfulpilot and I'm making the money I aspired to.
