About me

I started flying January 2020. During one of my daily rants of how unhappy I was at my job, a friend suggested I go look at flying. I had always dreamed of flying but never thought I could do it. I took 2 discovery flights, and I was hooked. Within 3 months I was a shiny new Private Pilot and almost exactly 3 years after that first flight lesson I am a CFI living in sunny San Deigo.

My training philosophy

Flying is a privilege and pilots carry a huge amount of responsibility. I strive to ensure my students are extremely well prepared for how unpredictable and risky flying can be. I have a detailed syllabus and high standards for all my students whether an aspiring student or a experienced pilot needing a flight review, I will ensure you are completely prepared to handle any situation.

Start here!

The best place to start is organizing your goals and needs and doing a Discovery flight.

A Discovery flight is a short intro to flying and a great chance to talk about training and what to expect, as well as what to expect afterwards if you want to make a career out of aviaion.

Send me a text or email with your goals/questions and I will give you a call.
