CFII
Flight Instructor, Primary
My fascination for aviation began in 2013 when I was surprised with a discovery flight from my uncle. I was in a Cessna 172 at my home airport, GMU, when I first experienced the point of view of the pilot’s seat. I never expected that a decade later I would be the pilot in command of an airplane over my hometown everyday. At that point in my life I loved every bit of the discovery flight but never imagined putting it into reality. The staff and instructors here at USAeroflight helped guide me to that reality. I am beyond thankful for getting the chance to spread the love for aviation onto others as a CFI. Keep the blue side up!
