As a commercial pilot and Certified Flight Instructor, I have built my aviation career on a simple philosophy: every flight is an opportunity to learn, improve, and become a better professional than I was the day before. I believe that technical proficiency is only one part of being an exceptional pilot. Equally important are humility, sound judgment, discipline, and a commitment to continuous growth.

My goal is to contribute to an organization that values integrity, lifelong learning, and operational excellence. I strive to be the kind of pilot who is dependable, prepared, and committed to supporting every member of the crew. I am passionate about aviation, dedicated to continual improvement, and excited to continue building a career defined by professionalism, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to safety.

Highlights

First Instructing Lesson
May 5, 2025 I was working with a private pilot instrument rated who was working on his commercial flight. We are taking off in a piper and the door at the top latch popped open. It was a great experience because the winds were excessive. We were experiencing a direct 12 knot crosswind gusting between 15 and 18. He didn’t have a lot of experience working in situations that don’t go as planned. But I was able to coach him through making the proper calls and communicating with ATC that we needed to do a lap in the pattern immediately to return to land to close the door. I was able to coach him while holding the door shut through the strong cross winds and maintaining a good landing everything when is planned and he showed incredible skill and great attentiveness to the improvements that I suggested.
