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!

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!

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 completely. It all went down the hill from there; 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 institutions in the country; aviation and CAA has changed my life and offered me a unique perspective on the world; this has inspired me to give back to the community and industry I have learned so much from.

​I became an instructor to help share the art of flying with as many people as possible. My only goal is to serve and help you however possible through flying and CAA. Your success is my success, and nothing brings me more joy than helping your aviation career take off. If we put our minds to it together, the sky is truly the limit!

​Airplanes and airports have always drawn my eye. There is something about the power of a jumbo jet or the symphony of a busy airport that is amazing. It took doing a discovery flight for me to realize that I can be a part of this industry, and I have not looked back since.

At the beginning of summer 2017, I started my flight training. I studied every night and spent as much time at the school as possible and passed my private pilot certificate before the end of that summer. It would not have been possible without the amazing instruction I received from Centennial Aviation Academy. I continued my training here at CAA, and eventually started to teach students myself with the school.
​
The dedication my instructors demonstrated when doing their job inspired me to become a CFI. Now, my goal is to help foster a love for aviation with the students, just like all the instructors did for me here at CAA.

I’ve always had a fascination with flying, but it wasn’t until I took the opportunity to learn to fly that I found my passion. Flying checks all the boxes for me. It is challenging and rewarding, a whole lot of fun, and definitely appeals to my adventurous spirit! That experience is what led me to become a flight instructor myself. Working and flying with students every day is something I always look forward to. No two days are ever alike! I appreciate the opportunity to share the awesome and exhilarating experience of flight with you, and I look forward to cheering you on, from your first ground lesson through the day you become a pilot!
