Flight Instructor
CFI, CFII, TCI
I found the joy of aviation in my twenties. But I feel like I was drawn to it my whole life. My grandfather worked on the U-2 and my great grandfather flew with the Red Baron in WWI. I graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 2015. While at UT, I was a member of the Pride of the Southland Marching Band. After graduation, I felt the call to join the Armed Forces and enlisted in the Tennessee Air National Guard in 2018. Later that same year I went on a Discovery Flight.
The first time I touched a yoke, I knew there was no going back; my life had to involve flying. Before heading off to basic training in 2019, I was able to complete my PPL. After finishing my military training, I promptly threw myself back into aviation training and completed my Instrument, Commercial, and CFI ratings. I put a pause on my flight training to become an Officer for the Tennessee Air National Guard, which included training in a T-6. Afterwards, I was back on the path of always becoming a better pilot and pursued my CFII.
From a seamless takeoff to a smooth landing, I take immense pride in my all accomplishments. I continuously challenge myself to improve with every flight. Every time I sit behind the flight controls, I strive to be safe while having fun. I look forward to sharing my passion of aviation with you, to help you achieve whatever your flying goals may be.
