I’ve always wanted to be a pilot. I was fortunate to start flying lessons as a teenager, solo at 16, and get my private pilot certificate shortly after my 17th birthday. I attended the University of North Dakota where I graduated with a B.S. in Aeronautics. After graduation, I stopped flying for several years while I pursued another career in the aviation industry but I couldn’t stay away from the cockpit forever.

After settling down in my career, I got back in a plane and couldn’t stop flying! After getting proficient again I started training for my commercial rating and eventually CFI, CFII, and MEI certificates. Aviation is my passion and it is truly a dream to be able to share that with my students.
