Instructor Bio

Hi, my name is Phil and I’m excited to be part of the Rainier Flight Service team in Renton. My dad started his career in Seattle as a Boeing Engineer and got me interested in aviation from an early age. I joined the Air Force and served as an intelligence officer for over 20 years. However, my true passion was flying and I started training and earned my private certificate in 2019. I’ve had the opportunity to fly in Germany, Japan, California, Virginia, and Ohio. But out of all these places, I think Washington has the best scenery and friendliest pilots! Whether you are a seasoned pilot or just thinking about getting started, let's meet and talk about your goals. When I’m not flying, I like to spend time with my family hiking, running, skiing or just watching a good movie. I look forward to flying with you soon!
