I have built a strong aviation foundation with 1,500 hours of total flight time, including 1,348 hours of PIC experience, 92 hours of multi-engine time, and experience across a wide variety of aircraft. I hold Commercial, Instrument, CFI, and MEI certificates, along with a Class 1 medical and valid passport.

What stands out most about me is my leadership and commitment to developing other pilots. I served as Chief Pilot for the Red-Tailed Hawks, where I was responsible for safe flight operations, coordinating volunteer pilots, enforcing safety and compliance protocols, providing instruction, and managing a CFI development program.

My continued involvement with aviation outreach and mentoring also speaks to how I think I’d fit well within the 135 or 121 culture. I’ve consistently invested time in helping introduce and develop the next generation of pilots through organizations including the Red-Tailed Hawks, Urban Wings, and Compton Aero Club.

I believe I’d bring a strong work ethic, solid flying foundation, leadership experience, and a genuine desire to continue learning in the Flight Deck. 

I love what I get to do everyday & really enjoy the satisfaction of seeing a student pilot achieve a certification under my instruction.
