Cole Ward grew up in Inglewood, California, where his passion for aviation first took flight thanks to living so close to LAX and constantly seeing planes overhead. That early fascination turned into a clear goal, and in July 2024, he began training at Epic, where he went on to earn all of his flying certificates. Outside of aviation, he enjoys staying active by going to the gym, keeping up with fashion, and spending quality time with his friends on his days off.
