My fascination with aviation began 7 years ago while I was on active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps. On my deployment while stationed overseas, my unit held my naturalization ceremony on a V-22 Osprey.

Picture this: aboard a V-22 Osprey during my first deployment, strapped in with a metal chain belt, and taking my oath over a headset while flying above Darwin, Australia. It was a surreal experience, peeking out through the cockpit door and seeing Darwin from a whole new perspective.

Fast forward to now, I am a certified flight instructor working at what I love, enjoying each and every flight with my students, friends, or even just flying solo.

I work well with positive engagement throughout ground and flight training. I’m excited for questions from you as it is an indication of active thinking and participation! I will provide you with the agenda and expectations for the upcoming lessons in advance, allowing you time to prepare.

If you’ve ever pondered the possibility of aviation as your own path, I stand ready to offer guidance and support. I work both weekdays and weekends, including certain holidays, feel free to reach out via phone call, message, or email at any time!
