Flight instructor for Aurora Aviation in Aurora OR. I have had always had a desire to fly since I was very young. Flying has been in my family for three generations. My grandfather was an air force pilot in WWII and also civilian heavy cargo pilot on 747's. My dad was a flight instructor down in Florida for a while. I started flying in Jan 2006 and finished my ratings in May of 2008. I did my flight training down in Glendale AZ. I have a military background working on F-16's and now F-15's up here at PDX. I love flying and love helping people reach their dreams. I hope one day to possibly fly charter or for the airlines when things settle. For now I will keep instructing down at Aurora Airport.

I'm located in Milwaukie, Oregon

Flight/Flight Instruction Experience
Been instructing down at Aurora Aviation now for about six months and love it. Great people to work with and good programs and planes. Mostly private students thus far and plenty of Bi-Annual Flight Reviews. Been mostly all around Oregon and up to Seattle and had a flight to Montana a while ago. Love flying around the valley and mountains. Still looking to fly up and down the coast... Time will tell

Educational Background
I'm over half way done with my Bachelors from Embry Riddle. Taken me sometime due to the military, but I'm still working on it!

Additional Comments
I believe that I am a good instructor to work with. One that just isn't doing it because it is a job, but because I truly love to fly. Being up in the air is where I belong, and I love sharing my passion with others.
