About
I have been flying for over 22 years, starting as a student at a small airfield in Ohio before working my way through commercial aviation to Captain. After 10 years flying B737 for a major US carrier, I transitioned to full-time instruction to give back to the community. I specialize in ATPL ground school, IFR training, and multi-engine endorsements. My students have gone on to fly for Delta, United, Southwest, and regional carriers.
