Hayden attended Delta State where he earned a Bachelor's in Flight Operations and his pilot certificates and CFI ratings. Originally from Texas, he moved to Mississippi for school before coming to Colorado for the same reason everyone else came to Colorado.

Hayden's checklist flows are unmatched. He drives a big truck, says "y'all" and wears Timberland boots. He's a funny guy, but none of us can figure out what he does in his free time. Our most educated guesses include off-roading and dragon taming.
