Infantry Officer turned Flight Instructor
Hello! I am a CFI/CFII/MEI located in the central PA capital region. Since May 2025 I've had the opportunity to work with multiple students from a variety of backgrounds, ages, experience levels, and aviation goals. In 2024 I completed 7 certificates/ratings in 7 months through Blue Line Aviation’s Career Pilot Program. I acquired a great deal of knowledge in that short amount of time, and I’m excited to share it with students looking to become safe, proficient pilots. I have a great deal of experience in the Diamond DA40 and DA42 with G1000/GFC700, as well as some experience in the Cessna 172 with GNS 430/530W/GFC500. Before becoming a flight instructor I served as an Infantry Officer in the Marine Corps and as an operations manager for Chewy. I’m looking forward to helping you achieve your aviations goals!
