Passionate aviator and U.S. Air Force Reserve Boom Operator with over 1175 total flight hours (1000 hour R-ATP Eligible) and a strong foundation in military aviation, aircraft maintenance, and flight instruction. Currently serving as a Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI-I) at KC Aero Academy, where I provide flight and ground training to private, instrument, and commercial pilot candidates.
In my role as a KC-135 Boom Operator, I have logged over 500 hours conducting in-flight refueling, cargo, and passenger operations while applying exceptional crew resource management in dynamic environments. Previously, I served as an Electrical and Environmental Systems Technician on the B-2 Spirit, troubleshooting and maintaining critical aircraft systems.
I hold a Commercial Pilot Certificate (Single and Multi-Engine Land) with Instrument Rating, a Flight Instructor Certificate with Instrument Rating, a 1st Class Medical, Top Secret security clearance, and endorsements for Tailwheel, Complex, and High-Performance aircraft. I recently completed a B.S. in Aeronautics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and am currently pursuing a second B.S. in Aviation from Liberty University (expected June 2026).
Combining real-world operational experience, maintenance expertise, and instructional skills, I’m driven to excel in the aviation industry—whether in flight operations, instruction, or leadership roles. Open to new opportunities and networking with fellow aviation professionals
