Here is some information about his early life.
--quote--
Sullenberger was born to a dentist father – a descendant of Swiss immigrants named Sollenberger[6] – and an elementary school teacher mother. He has one sister, Mary Wilson.[7] The street on which he grew up in Denison, Texas, was named after his mother's family, the Hannas.[7] According to his sister, Sullenberger built model planes and aircraft carriers during his childhood, and might have become interested in flying after hearing stories about his father's service in the United States Navy.[7] He went to school in Denison, and was consistently in the 99th percentile in every academic category.[8] At the age of 12, his IQ was deemed high enough to join Mensa International.[8] He also gained a pilot's license at 14.[9] In high school he was the president of the Latin club,[10] a first chair flute,[10] and an honor student.[10] His high school friends have said that Sullenberger developed a passion for flying from watching jets based out of Perrin Air Force Base.[7] He graduated from Denison High School in 1969[10] near the top of his class of about 350.[7]
