I’m a commercial pilot and flight instructor with more than 30 years of involvement in aviation. My background includes military air traffic control, single- and multi-engine airplanes, seaplanes, tailwheel and aerobatic flying, skydiving, and work as an FAA Senior Parachute Rigger. I provide primary and advanced flight instruction on Florida’s Space Coast. My approach to training is structured and practical. I’m a strong believer in preparing on the ground before getting into the airplane—students learn more from each flight when they already understand what we’re going to do, and it keeps expensive aircraft time focused on actually learning to fly. Whether you're working toward your Private or Commercial certificate, preparing for a checkride, completing a flight review, or just looking to improve your skills, I'll tailor the training to where you are and what you want to accomplish.
