I’ll never forget the day that a mentor of mine mailed me several flying magazines. He sparked an interest in Aviation that has never left! In 1999, I took my first flying lesson and soloed later that year. After joining the United States Army in 2002, I continued to pursue my ratings. In 2008, I decided to leave the military so that I could focus on an airline career. The only problem with this plan was the fact that along with the financial crisis, the regional airlines stopped hiring and in many cases they began to furlough. As a back-up plan I applied to be an Air Traffic Controller and till this day this remains my day-job.
Throughout the last decade I have continued to instruct when I can and I feel that my experience as an air traffic controller gives me a great perspective in which to teach from. At the same time, I have owned and sold airplanes. Many times I see cases where someone is not educated in the buying process and they end up buying a headache. As well as flight instruction, I aim to provide broker services that protect both the buyer and seller. It would be my honor to help you buy or sale your airplane. I have extensive experience with maintenance records and I can assure you that I will find any irregularities that can cause issues in the future.
I would be remiss if I did not mention my family. My beautiful wife Jennifer allows me to pursue this passion and encourages me to get out and work with my students. I have 3 beautiful children Taylor, Madelyn, and Lily Grace and we reside in Lakeland, TN. I look forward to working with you! Please give me a call today for a free consultation and let me sell (or find) your dream airplane!
