I am a professional pilot and CFI/CFII/MEI with over 1,500 hours of total flight time and experience providing instruction in both single- and multi-engine aircraft. As a full-time flight instructor at United Flight Systems in Houston, I have developed strong communication, decision-making, and crew coordination skills while working with pilots at all stages of training.

Before aviation, I spent nearly 18 years in the precision manufacturing industry, where attention to detail, reliability, teamwork, and safety were essential every day. I bring that same professional mindset to aviation.

I hold a First-Class Medical and FCC Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit and am currently seeking an opportunity to continue growing as a professional pilot, particularly in Part 91, Part 135, or airline operations. I am Houston-based and excited to connect with operators where I can contribute as a dependable, safety-focused member of the team.
