The instructor & philosophy
About Me
A personal approach to professional standards and aviation education.
Meet your instructor
My Professional Journey and Expertise
My aviation journey began in 2015 at Utah Valley University, and I proudly graduated in 2018 with a Bachelor's degree in Aviation Science.
I hold the highest levels of certification in the industry, which means you are learning from someone with extensive real-world expertise:
Instructor Certifications
I maintain my Certified Flight Instructor (CFI), Instrument Flight Instructor (CFII), and Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI) ratings.
Broad Aircraft Experience
My flying experience spans more than two dozen different makes and models of aircraft, providing a broad understanding of both classic “steam gauge” cockpits and modern glass cockpit configurations.
How I teach
My Training Philosophy
My goal is not just to get you a certificate, but to ensure you become a truly safe, confident, and professional aviator.
- I maintain a consistently high first-time pass rate because my focus is on mastery.
- I train to exceed FAA standards, concentrating on comprehensive airmanship, sound decision-making, and solid risk management, rather than simply focusing on passing a single test.
- I teach all certification levels, including Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, Commercial Single and Multi-Engine, and all Flight Instructor certificates (CFI, CFII, and MEI).
I look forward to instilling in you the confidence and precision required for a successful lifetime of flying.
EXPLORE MY TRAINING PHILOSOPHYBeyond aviation
Outside the Cockpit
When I'm not in the flight deck or the hangar, I embrace the same spirit of adventure in my free time. I enjoy spending time outside, whether I'm riding my bicycle or my motorcycle, working on agility training with my dog, Berkeley, or simply relaxing by a quiet campfire.
