Cody is a native of New York and a proud alumnus of the University at Buffalo, where he discovered his passion for aviation. It was in Buffalo that he took his first discovery flight, later earning his PPL in the state of New York. Cody made the bold decision to relocate to Florida with his cat, Demi, and enroll at Epic Flight Academy, a school he chose without ever having visited. He completed the remainder of his flight training at Epic, which far exceeded his expectations. Outside of aviation, Cody is an avid sports enthusiast who enjoys hosting friends and experimenting with new recipes, whether in the kitchen or driving his Jeep onto the beach to grill.
