Florida-based Commercial Pilot and CFI with a passion for general aviation and a deep appreciation for the community airport environment. I am the Owner/Operator of Ohana Aviation LLC out of Winter Haven Regional (KGIF), where I keep a 1966 Piper Cherokee that I fly regularly for personal time building throughout the Southeast.

I hold a current CFI certificate and stay actively engaged in aviation, though my primary focus these days is flying for the love of it and continuing to build experience across a range of conditions and routes. I am detail oriented, safety focused, and take a lot of pride in doing things the right way, whether that is a weekend cross-country or a thorough preflight on a familiar airplane.

Outside the cockpit, I run a small operation that keeps me connected to students and fellow pilots at the field, which is exactly the kind of aviation community I thrive in.
