Welcome

Aviation has inspired me for as long as I can remember. As a child, I was captivated whenever an aircraft crossed the sky. Today, I am proud to have transformed that lifelong passion into a career dedicated to flying, teaching, safety, and creating meaningful aviation experiences for others.

I am a retired United States Air Force veteran with 23 years of service and more than 5,000 hours of aviation and technical instruction experience. My Federal Aviation Administration credentials include Commercial Pilot, Certified Flight Instructor, Advanced Ground Instructor, and Instrument Rating.

I also hold a Bachelor of Science in Professional Aeronautics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, with a minor in Aviation Safety, and a Master of Business Administration in Information Technology, as a summa cum laude graduate.

I founded Charlie Tango Alpha Aviation to make professional flight training and memorable aviation experiences more accessible to the communities we serve. At CTA, every flight is supported by a commitment to safety, preparation, personal attention, and the highest standards of professionalism.

Whether your goal is to become a pilot, strengthen your skills, rent an aircraft, or experience the beauty of flight through one of our Signature Flight Experiences, I invite you to discover what makes flying with CTA truly distinctive.
