I am a Commercial Pilot and Certified Flight Instructor currently working as a flight simulator instructor in Orlando, Florida. I hold CFI, CFII, Commercial ASEL, AMEL, and ASES certificates and ratings, and I enjoy helping pilots develop their knowledge, proficiency, and confidence.

Although I currently work in Florida, I am an Alaska resident and continue to spend a significant amount of time there each year. My flying experience includes operations in both Alaska and Central Florida, giving me experience with diverse weather conditions, mountainous terrain, and complex controlled airspace.

I am seeking opportunities to continue building a career in professional aviation and am open to relocating anywhere in the United States. I have a particular interest in Alaska and hope to continue flying there, but I welcome opportunities wherever I can contribute, learn from experienced crews, and continue developing as a safe and dependable professional pilot.
