Commercial Pilot | CFI ​/​ CFII ​/​ MEI at 2R2

I’m a Commercial Pilot and Certified Flight Instructor (CFI​/​CFII​/​MEI) with 490+ hours of total flight time, including 120+ hours of tailwheel experience, offering flexible, independent flight instruction tailored to each student’s goals and schedule. I have experience in both single- and multi-engine aircraft and have flown the Diamond DA40 NG, DA42 NG, DA20-C1, Stinson 108, Cessna 177B Cardinal, Cessna 172, Cessna 150, and Piper PA-28-235 Cherokee. My instructional approach is structured, scenario-based, and safety-driven, with an emphasis on aeronautical decision-making, precision flying, and real-world proficiency—not just checkride preparation. I focus on building confident, capable pilots who understand the why behind every maneuver and decision. Outside of aviation, I’m a competitive motorcycle racer, which has reinforced a mindset of discipline, preparation, and performance under pressure—qualities I bring into every lesson and every flight. If you’re looking for a reliable, adaptable instructor who can meet you where you are—whether you’re working toward an instrument rating, multi-engine training, or overall proficiency—I’d be glad to help you move forward.
