About
I grew up in Northern Virginia and completed my flight training between Manassas and Leesburg before continuing at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, where I majored in Air Traffic Management while also flying. Aviation has been a part of my life from the start—I’ve been hooked since I was three years old flying toy planes, and by eight I had a full flight simulator setup at home. I’m a CFI/CFII instructing in single-engine land aircraft, with experience in Pipers, Cessnas, and Diamonds. Before becoming a flight instructor, I coached youth soccer for ages 10–16, which shaped my teaching style to be patient, adaptable, and focused on building confidence in every student. I believe you can always be learning and that you can never be overprepared. My goal is to help you become a safe, confident pilot who’s not just ready for a checkride—but ready for real-world flying. If you’re looking for an instructor who’s invested in your success and easy to work with, I’d be happy to help you get started.
