Hello!

I grew up in Virginia without the slightest intention of becoming a pilot in the future, thinking that was unattainable to someone not 'born into' aviation. After graduating from The University of Virginia, I moved to San Francisco and eventually Orange County in 2020, where my brother and I founded a moving company. Once an opportunity presented itself, I sold my share of the moving company and decided to put the proceeds towards the funding of flight training. From Spring 2023 to Winter 2023, I successfully earned my Private, Instrument, Commercial, and Multi-Engine certificates through independent training. While most of this training was completed at Long Beach Flying Club, I did some traveling to gain experience, flying in places like Arizona, Utah, and even Alaska. Half of a year after earning my Multi-Engine rating, I became a Certified Flight Instructor.

 

I now enjoy helping students that are in the same position that I was in 2 years ago grow from zero hours to Commercial Pilots as efficiently and successfully as possible. I also train students that have no intention of becoming a professional pilot, but rather want to pursue aviation as a hobby and gain their Private Pilot License. My career goal is to fly for a Corporation or Legacy Airline in the future, and at this time I am enjoying giving back to the General Aviation community the same way that so many instructors did for me during my training.
