About

Portrait of the flight instructor

Aviation runs in the family — my dad and brother both fly for the airlines, and I grew up around briefings, checklists, and hangar talk long before I ever took the controls myself. That background shaped how I teach: thorough, patient, and focused on building pilots who are truly ready, not just checkride-ready.

I'm 20 years old and hold my CFI and CFI-I certificates with a clean record — every checkride of mine passed on the first attempt. I bring that same preparation to every lesson, whether we're working toward a Sport or Private certificate, an instrument rating, or just knocking out a Flight Review.

I'm genuinely excited to fly with you. Training is conducted using my partnered fleet, so you don't need to own an aircraft to get started.
