CFI/CFII

Born and raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico, I bring a diverse and dynamic background to my professional endeavors. My journey began with a dedication to education, specifically in supporting students with learning differences. I honed my skills and knowledge at Landmark College, renowned for its specialized teaching methods, and furthered my education by studying engineering at New Mexico State University.

My career trajectory took an exciting turn after many years in the brewery and restaurant industries. A visit to my family in Lake Como, Italy, ignited a passion for flying that would shape my future. Starting with seaplanes in the picturesque setting of Lake Como, I completed my Private pilot license back in Santa Fe. However, my aspirations soared higher.

In Charleston, South Carolina, I discovered CHS Flight School, where I achieved commercial, instrument, certified flight instructor, and certified instrument flight instructor ratings. Additionally, I had the privilege of studying acrobatic and spin training with the esteemed aerobatic pilot Patty Wagstaff.

My journey eventually led me to relocate to Charleston, where I now share my love for aviation by providing expert flight training. With a rich blend of educational expertise, engineering knowledge, and a profound passion for flying, I am dedicated to inspiring and training the next generation of pilots.
