I’m a Certified Flight Instructor who is passionate about aviation and educating the next generation of pilots on safety and professionalism. Throughout my instructing career, I have always taught that safety comes first while providing a supportive learning environment that also challenges my students to grow.

Outside of flying, you can find me outdoors training for my next athletic accomplishment. I take pride in the discipline that comes with endurance training and the way it reflects my work ethic. As humans, we have a tendency to become complacent and settle into our comfort zones. For this reason, personal development and continuous learning are extremely important to me.

After completing the two-year Commercial Pilot Program at Big Bend Community College, I attended Midwest Corporate Air, where I obtained my CFI, CFII, Multi-Engine Commercial, MEI, and IGI certificates. Once certified, I began my job search and landed my first instructing position at a small flight school in Moses Lake, Washington. After accumulating about 800 hours of instruction, I was ready for something bigger, so I applied to Big Bend Community College in hopes of giving back to the program that gave me so much. I became a full-time instructor and a Part 141 Check Airman, where I have the privilege of certifying the next generation of pilots.

I believe that both my aviation experience and personal pursuits are a testament to my character. I value a strong work ethic, safety above all else, genuine passion, discipline, and a commitment to lifelong learning. I’m excited to see what comes next!
