Flight/Flight Instruction Experience
While training to become an instructor, I focused on bringing advanced techniques to my students. While most flight schools can only teach you to fly a light aircraft, I can teach you to fly your light aircraft like the big boys/girls fly their "real aircraft". I address proper approach and landing techniques, Human Factors, Safety, Performance, Aerodynamics, Cockpit Resource Management, ADM, Emergencies, Instrument Scan Techniques and Situational Awareness. These are all subject that I felt were not addressed at most flight schools. Today's General Aviation aircraft require a more modern approach to instruction, and I teach my students how to fly a Technically Advanced Aircraft in way that is methodical, safe and rewarding.

Educational Background
My education includes a Bachelors in Science, in Aeronautical Science, from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, in Daytona Beach, Florida. I focused on becoming an instructor who could help students learn skills and concepts that would last and that would actually transfer to bigger and faster aircraft. I gathered experience teaching at Embry-Riddle, working in Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Training Department, Delta Connection's Chief Pilot's Office, as well as several departments at United Airlines.
