Commercial pilot and Gold Seal CFI/CFII with approximately 1,472 hours total time, including 1,292 PIC and over 1,100 hours of dual instruction given. Most recently flew as SIC in the Pilatus PC-12 for a Part 135 charter operator, gaining hands-on experience in single-pilot turbine operations, IFR charter flying, and crew coordination in a demanding on-demand environment.

Prior to Part 135 flying, I served as a check instructor at a busy Part 141 academy, supervising and standardizing roughly 40 flight instructors and conducting stage checks across private, instrument, commercial and instructor curricula. That role sharpened my eye for procedural discipline, risk management, and mentorship, skills I bring to every cockpit.

I hold a completed ATP written, a First Class Medical, and a B.S. in Aviation Management with Flight Operations from Jacksonville University. My long-term goal is a career in major operations, whether that be Part 135, commercial, or cargo, and I’m seeking a Part 135 or commercial role where I can contribute reliability, professionalism, and a strong instructional background while continuing to build on my current experience.
