Flight/Flight Instruction Experience
I gained my initial CFI experience at Pan Am International Flight Academy in Phoenix, AZ.

I instructed for 3 years before applying and taking a position with ExpressJet Airlines. In August of 2007, I moved to San Diego as to work for ExpressJest. Currently I'm seeking interested students for training in the San Diego area, preferably out of Montgomery Field. In June of 2008, I completed my 2nd CFI renewal. I am qualified to instructed Private, Instrument, Multi-Engine, Commercial and CFI. I provide one-on-one training with a fun and laid back attitude. Flying is supposed to be fun and I believe in providing a safe, but enjoyable experience for my students.

Additional Comments
He moves not through distance, but through the ranges of satisfaction that come from hauling himself up into the air with complete and utter control; from knowing himself and knowing his airplane so well that he can come somewhere close to touching, in his own special and solitary way, that thing that is called perfection. — Richard Bach
