Meet OUR Flight Instructors

My Responsibilities
My responsibilities are to help you achieve your aviation goals and enjoy the process along the way, whether that’s flying recreationally or pursuing a career in the airlines. My mission is to guide you, challenge you, and support you every step of the way.

My Bio
I was born and raised in Greeneville, TN, and attended college at MTSU, where I played baseball and majored in Aerospace. After college, I served in the U.S. Navy from 2012 to 2018. I spent three of those years in Japan and three in San Diego, where I met my wife. We moved to the Nashville area in 2018, and I began my pilot training here at Wings in 2023.

My Hobbies
I enjoy competing in running and triathlon events, and I’m always up for a round of golf or a good hike.

My Favorite Thing About Wings
The camaraderie between staff and students. There’s a shared energy here, a mutual drive to grow, learn, and fly with purpose.

My Motto
It is the steady, relentless pursuit of your goals that transforms potential into achievement.

My Message to You
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” The process of becoming a pilot can seem daunting at first, but it all starts with that first step. Take it one day and one lesson at a time, and you’ll get there before you know it.
