I have been interested in aviation for as long as I can remember. I became actively involved in aviation in 2001 when I began working for Skystar Aircraft Corporation in Caldwell, Id. During my employment at Skystar and at Kitfox Aircraft I learned a lot about aerodynamic design, engineering standards, aircraft construction, and I developed a deep passion for aviation.
In 2008 I decided to continue my formal education by perusing a Bachelor’s degree in Aviation Science - Professional Pilot through Utah Valley University. I passed my private pilot check ride on December 7th 2008 with 40 hours of flight time accumulated over a 6 week period. I added the instrument rating in 2010, and the Commercial and CFI shortly after. I will graduate soon and have thoroughly enjoyed the degree curriculum covering diverse subjects such as aviation law, air traffic control, crew resource management, meteorology, and advanced aerodynamics to name a few. I am a very inquisitive person and like to understand the “why” aspect of everything we do in flight. I consider myself a perpetual student of aviation. I enjoy learning from others and sharing my passion of flight.
Learning to fly has been one of the most satisfying things I have ever done and I love helping others realize their aviation goals. My goal is to provide you with high quality instruction focused on safety and real world application of skills while using a relaxed demeanor and having fun. |
