Personal Interests
I have been flying for fun since 2011 and have built my professional career around the importance of attention to detail, precision, and disciplined execution. My background as a parent, professional cyclist and coach, and long-time custom carpenter has taught me the value of preparation, consistency, problem-solving, and working effectively as part of a team. Over the past two years, I have earned my Instrument, CSEL, CMEL, CFI, CFII, and MEI ratings, along with tailwheel, high-performance, and complex endorsements. I currently work as a flight instructor at Leading Edge Aviation (KDYL) and Bird of Paradise (9N1), where I continue to develop my skills as both a pilot and instructor. Looking ahead, I am seeking an opportunity with an organization where I can continue to grow professionally while contributing to a safe, disciplined, and hardworking team. I bring a strong work ethic, a commitment to safety and precision, and a genuine passion for aviation and helping others develop their skills as pilots.
