My First Airplane PT-40 - Age 13

I fell in love with aviation early—building and flying RC airplanes at just 13 years old. Five years later, I dove into the world of RC helicopters, tackling the precision and challenges that came with them. Creating, designing, and building has always been a passion of mine.

At 19, I earned my single-engine private pilot license, flying Cessna 152s and 182s out of Lansing Airport. During Optometry School, I pushed further toward my “ultimate hobbyist goal” by learning machining, metalworking, CAD, CAM, and CNC. Every part of it was incredibly rewarding.

I’ve always believed that the precision demanded by my hobbies parallels the precision required for excellent vision care. The eye—much like an aircraft or a finely crafted machine—is made up of many intricate parts working together. If one piece falters, the entire system can be affected. That understanding keeps me deeply connected to the importance of detail in my work.

I’ve never been a fan of the table we had in the office—so when the time felt right, I decided to build one myself. This became my first project involving partial board, edge banding, and veneering!
The top is finished with laminate using contact cement, along with stain and shellac for durability and warmth. On the back, I added a full-extension drawer for pens and papers. The cover for the garbage chute and tissue holder—plus the curved front—were all cut using my homemade CNC router. All in all, it took about 60 hours, but the process was a blast.
If you’re in the office, feel free to stop by and take a look! And if you’ve made any woodworking projects of your own, I’d love to see the
