Like many who first step into aviation, I began my journey with little more than curiosity—and quickly found myself swept into a world only pilots truly understand. Nearly thirty years later, I now have the privilege of serving as a Certified Flight Instructor, helping others begin their own path into the skies. There's nothing quite like earning your Private Pilot License—it's the first step into a lifelong adventure. Whether you’re just starting out or progressing toward your Instrument or Commercial rating, I’d be honored to guide you. Aviation has offered me unmatched experiences, and I’m passionate about helping others find the same joy, purpose, and freedom in flight.

Essex County Airport in Caldwell NJ (KCDW) Lincoln Park Airport, NJ (N07) Morristown Airport, NJ (KMMU) Greenwood Lake Airport in West Milford, NJ (4N1) Westchester Airport, NY (KHPN)

Specific Aircraft Access

I train people in their own aircraft. By always flying in the same plane, my clients learn faster and master the skills more completely. If you don't already own a plane, I can teach how to purchase one for very little costs and ultimately save 50 to 60% off your flight training (not to mention have more fun doing it).

Cessna 172, Cessna 182, Cessna 205, Cessna 152, Piper Lance P32R, Piper Arrow P28U, Grumman Tiger, Grumman Cheetah, Pipistrel Alpha Trainer

Aircraft Experience (Piloted)

All those I trained in, plus a few other more exotic planes. Also have time in gliders.
