Uplift my journey

Support my mission
My instruction services are voluntary work, pro-bono, I do not accept anything from my students in return. — That is my way of giving back.
I strive to keep my student’s hours close to the regulatory minimum by investing more of our time together on the ground: flight briefing and planning, practicing procedures in the simulator, or covering knowledge areas.


Because scholarships and financial aid lifted me, I now lift others.
Since 2013, I’ve dedicated my resources and efforts to aviation with the goal of helping others to learn to fly.

While my wife handles my costs. I help aspiring pilots get certified without breaking the bank.

Tips are welcome and appreciated.
