Growing up in Southern California developed my interest in planes, mountain bikes, and surfing. After graduating high school a pursued my dream of becoming a professional downhill mountain bike racer.  This dream ultimately let me out to Colorado where I trained and raced professionally.  While doing this, I also worked as a restaurant manager and mechanic were I developed my customer service and hospitality skills.  When It came time to change careers, I returned to California to pursue a new path as a pilot.  I trained out of a local part 61 flight school at the lovely Camarillo airport. I went on to achieve all my certificates there and became a CFI/CFII. I got the job working for the very flight school I trained at, and have gone on to be one of their most experienced and successful instructors. I’m currently still working as a CFI/CFII, but I’m looking to advance my career in new and exciting directions.
