Our Instructors

Although I've always wanted to fly, it took until my 30's to get into the air and have enjoyed every minute of it.  Following 6 years in the Army, I was able to use my GI Bill to earn a BS in Aviation Sciences from Liberty University and now I can share my love of flying with my flight students.  I use aviation as a means of giving back to fellow veterans with Flights of Gratitude.  When I'm not flying, I'm spending time with friends, exercising, or attending LCBC.

I was born and raised in North Jersey. I’ve always been fascinated with airplanes and took my first flight lesson at the age of 15. I graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a degree in Aeronautical Science. Currently, I,m an airline pilot for a major airline and have been a flight instructor for over 10 years. I am a dedicated and experienced pilot who truly has a passion for flying. In my free time, I am newly married and we enjoy spending time with our two year old labradoodle, Mando.

I’m a Michigan native who lived in South Florida for the last year. I have a Bachelors in Aviation Flight Science from Western Michigan University and got the CFI & CFII ratings while in Florida. I enjoy flying different aircraft, such as the Piper Archer, Cirrus SR20, Piper Seminole, and Cessna 172. My grandfather was a Tuskegee Airman and I got my passions from him. I love sharing my passion for aviation and teaching others to be great pilots. I’m a proud member of Women in Aviation. On my off days, I enjoy backpacking or sitting at a coffee shop with a good book.
