I am a safety-conscious and detail-oriented Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) and Instrument Instructor
(CFII) dedicated to training the next generation of professional pilots. Having completed my flight
training with rigorous personal standards—including passing multiple practical exams under the
supervision of a Part 141 Chief Flight Instructor and a Designated Pilot Examiner—I bring a
disciplined, structured approach to single-engine land instruction.
My background includes significant experience operating technically advanced aircraft, specifically
the G1000 NXi-equipped Diamond DA40 NG. Beyond standard flight training, I have a strong
foundation in commercial aviation operations and advanced aerospace concepts. This includes
completing a Flight Operations internship with Censys Technologies Corporation, where I monitored
real-time telemetry for long-endurance missions, ensured strict compliance with FAA Part 107
regulations, and flew over 20 test flight profiles for the Sentaero 5.
Additionally, I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from Kent State University,
where I graduated Magna Cum Laude. During my time at Kent State, I actively contributed to
aviation training research involving virtual reality applications and participated in FAA Aviation
Workforce Development programs.
Whether teaching in the classroom, guiding a student through a preflight briefing, or instructing in the
cockpit, I focus on breaking down complex aeronautical concepts into clear, actionable lessons. My
goal is to help students efficiently achieve their ratings while building the strong decision-making
skills required for a lifetime of safe flying.
