I am a retired Army Apache Pilot.  I completed all of the Rotor-to-Fixed Part 141 Certificates through my CFII Add-On.  I have 2000+ hours and I am a CFII in both Helicopters and Single Engine Land Airplanes.  I have also attained my Commercial UAS Certificate under Part 107.  

I understand the challenges associated with being strictly a military helicopter pilot and transitioning to civilian airplanes.  If anyone has any questions I am more than willing to help, feel free to contact me.

Active duty, F-16, Eurofighter Typhoon, T-38C Evaluator Pilot in all platforms.

CFII and MEI for the Aero Club, call and discuss all scheduling before scheduling.

I'm an active-duty Air Force weather officer permanently assigned to the Air Force Academy but temporarily (through Summer 2021) working at the Space Force Headquarters.  I've been flying for 25 years, but I took a hiatus due to family and work from 2002 to 2014.  I'm a part-time Aero Club CFII with about 800 total flying hours and about 130 hours of dual instruction given.  I'll retire from the Air Force in 2023, and hope to teach flying full time after that.  For now, my Aero Club teaching is limited to checkouts and working with one primary student at a time.  I primarily fly weekend mornings but sometimes also weekday evenings.
