Instructor Bio

I am a United States Navy Veteran. I served aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) as an Aviation Ordnanceman and I was stationed in Everett, WA. Working long hours on the Flight Deck, watching the planes take off and land, I always wondered what it would be like to become a Pilot. When I got out of the Navy, I took a different path. I became a Paramedic, then switched to Law Enforcement and worked in a jail. I still had in the back of my mind what it would be like to fly an airplane and become a pilot. I finally found the means to afford flight school and I hit the ground running!

Aviation is an awesome community to be a part of and I am so grateful to be part of the Rainier Flight Service Team.

In my free time I love being on the water, traveling and playing basketball. I am a huge Michael Jordan fan!

I look forward to flying with you and helping you accomplish your aviation goals!
