Private Pilot Checkrides

Introduction

Instructing since 2017, my background reflects a consistent commitment to excellence in aviation. Credentials include a Gold Seal, four-time Master CFI, and nearly two years as Chief Instructor and Pilot at a Part 141 flight school. While currently employed as a part 135 pilot for a charter company in southern California, I provide checkrides and offer part-time instruction. 

Service as a Designated Pilot Examiner includes conducting Private Pilot checkrides out of the French Valley Airport and surrounding areas, with plans to add Commercial and Instrument checkrides in the near future.

Before full-time flight instructing, having a 19-year career as a public school educator provided a strong foundation in teaching skills, supported by a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction and an active Professional Clear K–12 Multiple Subject Teaching Credential.
