CFI / CFII | 1,000+ TT | 670+ Dual Given | Open to Nationwide Relocation | Seeking Diverse Commercial Flying Opportunities
My path into aviation was anything but traditional. Before becoming a pilot, I worked as an HVAC technician, and one hot summer day while servicing equipment near a local airport, I kept noticing airplanes passing overhead. I caught myself looking up every time one flew by, wondering where it was going and what it would be like to be at the controls. That curiosity quickly turned into a passion, and I made the decision to pursue aviation professionally. It has been one of the most rewarding decisions I have ever made and continues to motivate me to grow as both a pilot and a professional.
I earned my Associate of Applied Science in Aviation Flight from Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology, graduating four months early with a 4.0 GPA and part of the President’s Honor Roll. Since then, I have built over 1,000 hours of total flight time and more than 670 hours of dual instruction given as a Certified Flight Instructor CFI / CFII. My instructional experience has included training students under both Part 61 and Part 141 programs, helping pilots progress from their first flight through commercial and instructor ratings while maintaining a strong emphasis on safety, professionalism, sound aeronautical decision-making, and real-world application. I have a 9 out of 10 first time check ride pass rate and have sent students on over 50 successful 141 stage checks.
Although flight instruction has been an incredibly rewarding chapter of my career, I am excited by the many paths aviation has to offer. I am open to a wide variety of flying opportunities, including aerial survey, pipeline and powerline patrol, Part 91 corporate operations, ferry flying, charter, cargo, and other commercial operations. I enjoy adapting to new environments, learning new aircraft and missions, and contributing wherever I can provide value.
I have experience in the C150, C152, C172, PA-28, and PA-44, and I have developed the ability to adapt quickly to different aircraft, avionics suites, and operating environments. I enjoy learning new systems and continually expanding my technical knowledge as a pilot.
My long-term goal is to continue growing as a professional pilot while working alongside organizations that value safety. I am always eager to take on new challenges, expand my experience, and work hard.
