My Responsibilities
As your instructor, I’m here to provide a safe, fun environment for you to grow as a pilot and to reach your full potential.
My Bio
I moved to Tennessee in December 2023 to provide my family with a better life and to pursue a second career in aviation. I spent over a decade in the automotive industry, starting as a salesman and finishing as the General Sales Manager of a local Jeep Dealership. Although I enjoyed the auto industry, I was looking for another opportunity to follow my passion of exploring outdoors. I grew up riding off-road vehicles and enjoying the freedom of exploring while being connected with the machine. The first time I flew an airplane, I was hooked! With the help of awesome instructors, I was able to complete all my Certificates and ratings and from Private Pilot to CFII in 13 months. I now look forward to giving back as an instructor while on the path to bigger aviation opportunities!
My Hobbies
Family, flying, baseball, off-road vehicles, being outdoors.
My Favorite Thing About Wings
The people, the aircraft, and availability. The community that Wings provides makes you feel part of the family. Everyone from ownership to office staff, and instructors are willing to help at any chance they get. With ease of scheduling and many aircraft to choose from, it makes flight training streamlined. Come join the Family!
My Motto
If someone else has achieved it, you can too. It’s just a matter of figuring out how. If someone hasn’t achieved it, be the one makes a path for others to follow.
My Message to You
Once you experience flying, you’ll never want to stop! Be persistent in your training, use all resources available, and you will go far!
