MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
I have been in the aviation industry professional since the early 2000s, starting out as a ramp agent with the airlines, then enlisted in the U.S. Air Force working as aircraft mechanic and now for the DON. Also, worked as a pilot for two skydive companies. I currently hold Certified Ground Instructor, Commercial Pilot (for single and multi-engine) certificates.
I am passionate about making aviation more accessible and easier to learn. I now am working towards educating the next generation of pilots.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Aeronautics from the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
When I am not teaching, or working at my full time job I enjoy being outdoors and spending time with the family in Southern California.
