Meet OUR Flight Instructors

My Responsibilities
I am a dedicated flight instructor committed to providing high-quality, engaging instruction while maintaining safety as the top priority in every lesson. My goal is to create a fun, welcoming environment where students feel confident to learn, grow, and develop their skills as pilots. I strive to tailor each lesson to the individual, helping every student build both competence and confidence in the air.

My Bio
I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. After graduating high school, I attended dive school and became a certified commercial diver. I later joined the U.S. Army, where I was stationed in Hawaii. Following my military service, my passion for aviation continued to grow. In 2022, my family and I relocated to Tennessee, where I began my flight training at Wings of Eagles in Smyrna. I’m a proud husband and father of five, and we currently live in Springfield, Tennessee, on five acres. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors with my family—riding quads and dirt bikes, and spending quality time together.

My Hobbies
I enjoy spending quality time with my family, playing video games—especially on my flight simulator—and, of course, flying.

My Favorite Thing About Wings
What I enjoy most about Wings of Eagles is their strong dedication to safety, their well-maintained and impressive fleet of aircraft, and the friendly, welcoming atmosphere created by everyone on the team.

My Motto
“Prioritize who you are, who you want to be, and don’t spend time with anything that antagonizes your character.” – Matthew McConaughey

My Message to You
Becoming a pilot is one of the most rewarding and challenging journeys you’ll experience. Stay committed, work hard, and train with purpose, but don’t forget to enjoy the process along the way. Keep your eyes on your goal, and you’ll achieve it before you know it.
