About me:

Because the cost of flight training is so high, I want to make as many free ground school videos as possible to support student pilots in their journey to earning their wings. Whether you are a student pilot just getting started, an F16 fighter pilot on your nth rotation, or just someone who likes talking about airplanes, I hope you will feel welcome as we explore the skies together.

I am a Flight Instructor, Instrument and Advanced Ground Instructor, commercial pilot, and US Army Veteran. I have a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Washington, and I love talking about airplanes, science, and leadership.
