I’ve been passionate about aviation since I was little. I learned to fly in the 90’s, and that passion has not slowed down. With over 700 flight hours and a background as an Air Force veteran, I bring discipline, structure, and real-world experience to every lesson.
In addition to flying, I work for the fire department, where decision-making and staying calm under pressure are a part of everyday life. Those same principles guide how I teach. Safety is always my top priority, and I focus on helping my students build confidence along with strong aeronautical decision-making skills.
I believe every student learns differently. That’s why I tailor lessons to each individual’s learning style. Whether you prefer a highly structured plan, scenario-based training, or more hands-on repetition, I’ll adjust our approach so you get the most out of every hour in the air and on the ground.
One thing that sets me apart is flexibility. I offer flexible training days and hours to fit around your work, school, or family schedule. Flight training should work for your life, not the other way around.
Teaching isn’t just a stepping stone for me — it’s something I plan to do for the next 40+ years because I truly love flying and sharing that experience with others. Whether your goal is to fly for fun, earn your Private Pilot certificate, or pursue aviation as a career, I’m here to help you succeed.
When I’m not at the airport or at the fire station, I’m at home with my wife and our two dogs.
Aviation has given me incredible opportunities, and I’m excited to help you start your own journey.
If you're ready to take the controls, I’d be honored to be your instructor. Let’s get you flying. ✈️
What do I charge?
Pricing
Pricing is pretty simple.
I charge $50/hour for ground and flight time.
Typically that is just the time we are flying with a pre and post flight briefing of 15 minutes.
10% discount for Veterans and First Responders
Planes are provided through Centennial Flyers and trainers usually are in the $150 per hour range.
