Flying has always been something very special to me. I really love what I do.... sharing my passion of flying and seeing my students go on to become successful is a feeling that is indescribable. I want your training to be the very best!

Having always longed to become a pilot, I started flying at the age of 14 and obtained my private pilot certificate at the age of 17. At 19 I became commercially certified and shortly thereafter I obtained my certified flight instructor certificate.

My goal is to help you become a safe and proficient pilot all while having a lot of fun in an unparalleled training environment. Whether you train with myself or another one of our dedicated instructors, I can unconditionally guarantee that you will love your experience here!

Bio

Ever since I was four years old I wanted to be a pilot. That dream came true in summer of 2011 when I signed up for one of CAA's camps.

I started flying when I was 11 years old. On my 16th birthday, I had the opportunity to solo for the first time. A short year later I received my private pilot certificate on my 17th birthday and then commercial pilot certificate on my 18th. I've learned so much over the years, and as they say, a great pilot is always learning. Through CAA, I share my passion with other students and guide them down the path to achieving their personal goals/becoming a pilot.

It's really shown me that anything you set your mind to is possible and to go run after your dreams. I've learned especially not to let anyone limit you by age. Flying is the most challenging yet most rewarding thing anyone can ever do... And I enjoy every minute of it! There is no question in my mind that I would do anything else but fly.

Bio

Growing up in a Delta family, I was around airplanes my entire childhood and I developed a passion for aviation early on. My family would take trips around the country frequently, and my favorite part was always the flight. Riding in the back of the plane was fun, but finally getting behind the controls solidified that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.

I began my training at Centennial Aviation Academy in 2017 and worked my way through my ratings until I became a CFI. The journey was challenging but very rewarding, and I’m so grateful for the community of people I’ve met along the way. I love sharing my passion for flying with my students and look forward to coming to work every day. Whether your goal is getting your private pilot’s license or you want to make it to the airlines, mine is always to help my students achieve their dreams and find their place in aviation.

Bio

Someone far wiser than me once said that we all live two lifetimes. The first one begins the day that we're born, and the second begins the very moment that we realize we only have one. I lived a veritable lifetime before I discovered the majesty of aviation and, since that day, I have never once looked back. With the confidence of Odysseus two-timing the cyclops in The Odyssey, I can say that growing to understand the magic of flight, and comprehending the vastness of both the Earth and sky above from this new perspective, is the most rewarding and fulfilling experience you could possibly imagine. You get out of something what you're willing to put into it, and you'll certainly be expected to work hard and commit yourself fully, but if achieving your dreams of becoming an aviator is the end result, then that's worth all the hard work in the world. If your heart is drawing you toward this experience, take the leap of faith and you'll wonder, just like I did, what took you so long to do so. I cannot wait to meet you and impart all of the wonderful things I have learned along the way.
