Independent CFI
I am an independent CFI based out of KBFI. As an Air Force veteran, I bring a disciplined, safety first mindset to the cockpit and a deep respect for aviation professionalism. My career focus is on flight instruction, not building hours for the airlines, with the goal of making long term contributions to general aviation by developing capable, confident pilots. I offer personalized, mission driven training tailored to each student’s unique needs and learning style, whether they're just starting out or looking to sharpen advanced skills. I’m dedicated to creating a supportive, effective learning environment built on continuous improvement and mutual respect.
