A student’s progress is as important to me as my own. In my opinion, a student’s performance is a direct indication of both the instructors and schools ability to operate a successful and professional system. It’s because of this that I as well as the rest of the U-FLY instructors go to all lengths to ensure success in the student not only being competent but a professional pilot in the making. My career goal is to be a successful and respected airline captain, to pass on all knowledge and expertise gained throughout my flying career. I’m a person with extreme drive to excel in every field I partake. I don’t fly to live but live to fly!

I fell in love with aviation at age fourteen during my first flight ever in a Beechcraft Bonanza. No amount of hardship, hard work and studying could change the way I see my job. We pilots are so privileged  to be able to operate in such intimate relationship with the product of precise engineering as well as with nature. No corner office will ever bring you this close to awe inspiring cloud formations and exhilarating displays of thunder and lightning. Aviation is not a career; it is a way of living.

I feel that as an instructor I not only teach my students the fundamentals of flying but also cultivate a passion for aviation. I believe that a student’s progress is a direct reflection on my own ability and I try my best to provide students with as much knowledge and skill as I can so that they can one day progress to be top class pilots. Flying is not only my passion but my way of life and teaching other people to fly truly inspires me to keep flying and learning so that I will always provide the highest form of aviation training to my students.
