Flying has been part of my entire life. I hold a BS in Aerospace Engineering and an MS in Mechanical Engineering, and I’ve been a professional pilot since graduating college. I am a former Army and Navy Aviator with extensive military flight experience. Over my career, I’ve flown both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, and today I bring that breadth of knowledge to my instruction. I’m a retired professional pilot who now instructs full-time. My goal is to share real-world experience and help students not just pass checkrides, but also build confidence, safety, and long-term proficiency in aviation.
