In 2013 I took a break from racing sportbikes and instructing at Mid Ohio Sports Car Course and followed my passion for aviation. I went to the local airport and put in the mandatory 40 hours required to obtain a pilots license. I purchased a Light Sport airplane and began flying all around Ohio and Kentucky. After a season of flying and around 120 hours of flight time, I started looking for something more exciting. In 2014 I was introduced to paragliding and shortly after that became obsessed with paramotoring as well. After learning to fly a paramotor I spent every moment possible focused on getting better at flying. Soon after I wanted to share my new found freedom with everyone. I wanted anyone who had the desire to fly, to be able to experience the thrill of running into the sky.
“I started looking for something more exciting. In 2014, I was introduced to paragliding…”
After training some friends, word started to travel and people began reaching out in search of instruction. In 2016 I decided to focus on providing quality paramotor instruction. In 2018 I mentored under, and trained with Matt Minyard of Paramotor Louisiana. I received my PPG3 from Scott Baxter and Steve Reed at Midwest Parajet. I have continued to mentor and train with Chris Santacroce at Superflyinc where I received my USPPA instructor training. I have also attended a tandem clinic at Midwest Parajet, where I received both foot and wheel launch exemptions from the FAA for tandem flight. I will continue to train and mentor in order to grow as an instructor and help the sport grow in the safest way possible.
Let’s start talking about your training!
“There is no sport equal to that which aviators enjoy while being carried through the air on great white wings. More than anything else, the sensation is one of perfect peace mingled with an excitement that strains every nerve to the utmost if you can conceive of such a combination” –Wilbur Wright
