GO FROM ZERO TO CFI IN AS LITTLE AS ONE YEAR

Aviation has been a lifelong passion of mine. From an early age, I was fascinated by the freedom of human flight. I’m that guy who knows (almost) every model of airplane ever made. But my aviation journey only began after a friend gifted me my first discovery flight in a glider. I was instantly hooked and started my primary training here in California, also flying in France and Argentina. I earned my first certificate, Glider Private Pilot, 15 years ago.

In 2024, I decided to go after a career in aviation full-time and went to Ascent Aviation Academy to pursue my airplane ratings. I completed my Airplane Add On, Instrument, Commercial and Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) certificates in under a year. This immersive experience deepened not only my technical proficiency but also my appreciation for the structured, safety-driven approach that Ascent embodies.

I bring a detail-oriented and procedural mindset to every flight. Whether it’s a preflight briefing or a complex cross-country lesson, I emphasize understanding why each step matters. My students learn to think like pilots early on — developing judgment, precision, and confidence in real-world flying.

Above all, my goal as an instructor is to help each student achieve their aviation dreams in the most efficient, effective, and enjoyable way possible. I believe that learning to fly should be as rewarding as it is challenging, and I strive to make every lesson a blend of professionalism, curiosity, and fun.

What you get with me at Ascent: a clear training roadmap, consistent lesson debriefs, and real mentorship toward your long-term goals — whether that’s the airlines, career CFI, or improving your pilot skills. Because we train inside Ascent’s fleet and scheduling system, you get properly maintained aircraft, and the largest standardized fleet in California to supports your training pace.
