Krischan grew up in Oregon and originally began studying business. He developed a passion for aviation during college and quickly committed to pursuing it as a career. He trained at Utah State University, where he earned a degree in Aviation Technology with a minor in Portuguese.

He is also an AH-64 (Apache) Armament, Avionics, and Electronics Repairer in the Utah Army National Guard. Drawing on his military background and passion for aviation, he takes a structured and student-centered approach to instruction, putting emphasis on strong fundamentals, aeronautical decision-making, and real-world application in every lesson.

When he’s not flying, Krischan enjoys spending time with his family, hiking and exploring Southern Utah, as well as running, watching hockey, and fly fishing.
