With over a decade of experience and the chance to learn from a wide range of instructors across places like Los Angeles, Hawaii, Washington, New York, and Ohio, I’ve absorbed diverse techniques and styles that I apply to my teaching and share with my students. My experience working with students from all walks of life, including high schoolers starting their aviation careers and family men and women balancing flight training with their busy lives, allows me to adapt my teaching to suit your unique learning style.

I excel at making your training individualized, efficient, and purposeful. From day one, you’ll learn to grow your voice as the Pilot in Command (PIC), determining the pace and direction of your training. Whether you’re landing in crosswinds, which can feel like adding the perfect amount of spice to your day, or mastering other techniques from the great mentors I’ve learned from, you will fly with intention and skill.

Feel free to reach out to see if we’re a great fit for each other!

When I’m not in the cockpit, I’m with my Golden Retriever (Jea) or driving in my Supra. Being born in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia), early in my Genin days, I saw the power & influence Aviation had while my parents and I flew on Philippine Airlines (PAL) every year to visit the family I dearly loved. Over the past 10 years as a Shinobi, I’ve made it a goal of mine to work towards holding the United SFO to Manila route so I can continue teaching here for life, that is my ninja way, Believe it! (Dattebayo! だってばよ). With my experience in aviation and a background in Learning & Development from my Biotech days, I bring a passion for both flying and personal growth to my students.
