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 pilots 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 very 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 flying with us!

Spencer H. Clark

Ever since I was four years old I wanted to be a pilot. That dream came true in the summer 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.

Flying has always been something that I have been very passionate about. My dreams of being a pilot first came true at just twelve years old when I enrolled in the CAA Pilot Academy. After continuing on with CAA's training program for four years, I flew solo on my sixteenth birthday and obtained my Private Pilot Certificate and Instrument Rating shortly after my seventeenth birthday.

Today I help to oversee CAA's day-to-day operations. Being able to have a role in the aviation industry and to help run a small business has been incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. I am so grateful that coming to work is something that I actually look forward to!

Attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

Ever since I was a little kid, I was fascinated with airplanes and dreamed about furthering mankind's adventures through flight. When I was just 10 years old, my mom bought me a copy of a flight simulator for my birthday and I was hooked. I took my first flying lesson at 11 years old and got my pilot's license when I was 17.

Throughout the years, Rohan, Spencer, Alex, and the staff here at Centennial Aviation Academy showed me time and time again that they were unwaveringly dedicated to their art and their students. I believe that CAA is truly one of the finest institution in this country; aviation and CAA has changed my life and offered me a unique perspective on this world. This inspired me to give back to the community and industry I have learned so much from, and I decided to become a flight instructor to help share the art of flying with as many people as possible.
My goal is to serve and help you however I can through flying and CAA. Your success is my success, and your happiness is my happiness. If we put our minds to it, the sky is truly the limit!
