My goal in aviation is to fly a variety of aircraft, become the best aviator I can be, and help develop exceptional pilots.

The team at American Flyers is fantastic, supportive, passionate, and always keeping training exciting. The pace of training keeps things exciting, with new challenges every day, from teaching landings in gusty winds to briefing for cross-country flights. My ultimate goal in aviation is to fly for the airlines, but in the meantime, I’d love to fly seaplanes and explore the great outdoors. One of my favorite parts of training new pilots is watching them step into a whole new world, where the sky becomes their limit. It’s incredible seeing them shift from hesitation to instinct and take control with confidence.
