Daniel was very easy to talk with and work through the material. He spent the time where it was needed and focused on where to improve for future lessons. Great to get along with! Highly recommend for those who want a very 1-on-1 tailored experience.
I scheduled a 1 hour session with Daniel and it was great. For my current circumstances, this is what I needed. He is very knowledgeable and sent me some resources following our meet. I would recommend him.

About
Hello, I'm Daniel M..
I started flying in 2006. On my flight path, I have trained at a few different flight schools under both part 141 and 61. I have flown a variety of aircraft, mainly Cessnas, Pipers, Diamonds and Grummans. I earned my private and instrument in Leesburg, VA, under the DC SFRA where I flew as a hobby. I was part of a flying club that flew volunteer flights with Air Care Alliance and Pilots and Paws. Here, I also spent several flight hours learning aerobatic maneuvers in a Decathlon. After deciding to become a professional pilot, I moved to Nashville, TN and earned my commercial, multi, and instructor certificates at Middle Tennessee State University. After completing the 141 program and training students for MTSU I chased my girlfriend to Knoxville, TN and began flying for a 61 school at DKX, where I currently teach.
Before flying I worked as a wilderness skills instructor with youth groups and outdoor outfitting companies. Teaching has always been something I have been passionate about. From having worked as an instructor in different fields, I have a strong understanding that teaching is a skill that needs to be learned on its own apart from the skills being taught. Teaching as always been apart of my life and as such, flight instruction is something I want to do because it is something I enjoy doing.
