About Me
Growing up in Colorado offered me the opportunity to learn to fly in the mountains surrounding Blake Field near Delta Co; soloing
during my senior year of high school at age 17, and earning my private pilots license at 18. I then moved to Eastern Colorado to
pursue my instrument rating. After nine months of battling front-range thunderstorms, I decided to move to Southern California
where i completed my instrument rating in Long Beach at 19. This was quickly followed with a commercial license in Hawthorne and
a Certified Flight Instructor rating at 20 in Santa Monica. Lastly, I completed my Multi Engine Commercial License at the Long
Beach Flying Club when I was 21.

I have been working as a full time flight instructor for over four years teaching many people to become successful pilots. I enjoy
working as a freelance flight instructor because of the vast amount of freedom it allows. I feel that by instructing independently I am
more able to satisfy the unique needs of my many students.  

There isn't anything else that I would rather be doing with my flying career. I truly enjoy teaching and passing on the great
experiences that aviation has to offer. I am not sure who is more excited when a new student solos; the student or myself! After four
years in Long Beach, 2500+ hours of flying and over 30 students passing their check rides, my passion for teaching is still growing
every day.
