I’m an experienced aviation professional and flight instructor who has built my career around safety, professionalism, and helping others succeed. I hold my CFI, CFII, and Multi-Engine Instructor certificates and have accumulated over 1,500 hours of flight time, including significant PIC and instructional experience. My time as an instructor has strengthened my decision-making, communication, leadership, and CRM skills.

Before aviation became my primary career focus, I also owned and operated businesses, where I learned the importance of accountability, managing people, solving problems, and delivering a high level of customer service. Those experiences have shaped me into someone who is dependable, hardworking, and comfortable taking responsibility.

I’m now ready to take the next step in my aviation career and bring those experiences to an airline environment. I’m looking for a company where I can continue learning, contribute to a strong team, and build a long-term career as a professional airline pilot.
