My Qualifications
Meet your instructor
My love for aviation started young — I took a series of trips overseas and flying just clicked for me. After high school I went straight into flight school, passed every checkride on the first attempt, and scored 100% on multiple written tests. Now a CFI, CFII, MEI, and AGI based at Chicago Executive Airport (KPWK), I bring that same focus to every lesson and flight. I offer personalized one-on-one instruction and professional aviation services built around you.

Whether you're a student working toward your first certificate or a company needing a professional pilot, I've got you covered.
Private pilot training tailored to your goals. One-on-one, flexible scheduling, in your aircraft.
CFII-led instruction focused on real-world IMC skills and checkride readiness.
Structured training toward your commercial certificate. Build the skills and flight hours needed for a professional pilot career.
Transition to twins with an MEI. Systems, asymmetric flight, and add-on checkride prep.
Professional aircraft ferry across the country. Reliable and experienced for any mission.
Available for contract pilot work across multiple aircraft types with complex and high performance endorsements.
Advanced ground instruction (AGI), flight reviews, and instrument proficiency checks.
Available as a qualified safety pilot for pilots logging simulated instrument time. Helping you stay current and proficient.
Aircraft experience
I instruct in your aircraft. Experienced across a range of single and multi-engine types — bring your own plane and let's get to work.
Why choose independent
Independent instruction means you get my full attention — no rotating instructors, no quotas, no compromise.
Every lesson is built around you. I know your strengths, your weak spots, and how to get you to your goal.
Early mornings, evenings, weekends — we find times that work around your life.
A focused syllabus means fewer wasted hours and a faster path to your certificate.
Beyond instruction — ferry and contract work handled with the same professionalism and safety focus.
