Flight Training Services in SoCal/ Orange County, California
Located in Orange County, CA, I offer in-airplane, in-person ground, and online instruction. I’m currently accepting primary students and conducting flight reviews across Southern California. With experience in long-distance cross-countries and ferry flights, I’m also happy to assist with more specialized needs. Tailwheel trained and proud of it—much of my time has been spent in aircraft like the L-2 Taylorcraft and C-170B. Whether you're just starting out or looking to stay sharp, I bring a calm, engaging approach to make your training enjoyable and effective. As a USMC veteran, I carry that same discipline and commitment into my instruction. Shoot me a direct message if you'd like to connect and see if we’re a good fit.
