I received my private license as a teenager. Starting as early as 2010, I have had extensive, hands-on, experience as a Certified Rotor Flight Instructor (CFI). Initially, I taught helicopter students with Canyon State Aero. In 2014, I commissioned in the Army as an active-duty Aviation officer. During my first four years in the Army, I was directly responsible for 5 Blackhawk helicopters and their crews. I was also in charge of coordinating maintenance efforts, as well as, conducting Flight trainings, ensuring Soldier welfare, and the HR requirements of the crews. I’ve spent the last four years working with national agencies, international agencies, and militaries to coordinate aviation efforts domestically and across 3 continents.

After an honorable discharge from active Army Aviation service, I’ve decided to pursue my dream of teaching others, so that they can share in my passion. I look forward to sharing the joy I have felt since I was a toddler and the skills I've learned while flying military helicopters.
