Instructor Bio

Howdy! I have wanted to be a pilot for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Oklahoma City, I would always ask my mom to take me to the airport so I could watch the planes from an observation deck. I was entertained for hours watching airliners take off and land, and I was never in doubt when anybody asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. My original plan was to go through the military, which brought me to UW(GO DAWGS!!) and the beautiful PNW. Ultimately, I decided to pursue a career in civil aviation. I was fortunate enough to be selected for the Alaska Airlines Ascend Program and to go through training in Central Oregon.

Rarely when I am not flying or talking about flying, I enjoy biking, snowboarding, cooking, exploring, and spending time with friends and family. 

I feel so fortunate to work with such an outstanding team, and I cannot wait to help share my passion for flying with you and help you towards your Aviation Goals!
