Flight/Flight Instruction Experience
Josh is Pinnacle Aviation Academy’s Chief Instructor of Advanced Training. He has a BS of Aeronautical Science from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University with a minor in Computer Science. After graduation, he decided to not follow the typical career path of flying for the airlines, but devoted his professional talents to training pilots. Pinnacle Aviation Academy was very fortunate to have Josh join our team as our Chief Instructor. He leads our instructor team with new ideas and teaching methods for our rapidly changing aviation environment. In addition to mentoring students and instructors, Josh provides 141 check rides and stage checks. Josh is also a part time instructor in the Aeronautical Sciences department at Palomar Community College. During Josh's free time, as an Eagle Scout, Josh works with the Boy Scouts of America by providing counseling for the Aviation Merit Badge. Students say that Josh has a patient, fun attitude with an understanding of student individual needs. He encourages students to relax and enjoy the fun of flying!
