Teaching and mentoring have been part of my life since I was fourteen, beginning as a teacher's aide and Boy Scout leader, and continuing through more than sixteen years of leadership and instructional experience in the United States Marine Corps and Air Traffic Control. I am the founding chair of a Classical Education School. Coaching, developing others, and helping people grow have always come naturally to me.

I hold an Associate degree in Aeronautical Science from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University and am currently pursuing my Bachelor's in Aviation Management. With more than five years of formal tutoring and classroom experience, I specialize in Air Traffic Control studies and exam preparation, whether you are in the FAA, in college, in the military, or a civilian student. I also teach Basic Computer Literacy and Microsoft Office, and I can assist with just about any general academic subject. My goal is to make complex ideas clear, structured, and engaging for every learner.

My favorite subject has always been history, and I enjoy reading biographies and studying military strategy. Lessons in discipline, decision-making, and perseverance shape my teaching philosophy. Education should build both confidence and curiosity, equipping students to think critically and perform with excellence in every area of life.
