Adam Fareed knew he wanted a career in aviation as a young child. “I was inspired to seek a career in aviation by my father, Atif Fareed, who is also a pilot. He mentored me and pushed me as I began my flying journey straight out of high school.” The Fareed family traveled to visit his grandparents on summer vacations—and the benefits of being a pilot came naturally to him as a result.
