About Your Instructor
I'm a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI & CFII) based at Charles Baker Airport (2M8) in Millington, TN. I hold a Commercial Pilot certificate with ratings in both single and multi-engine aircraft, and carry a First Class Medical — the same standard required of airline pilots.
Before instructing, I spent a year as a Flight Coordinator at the FedEx World Hub in Memphis, coordinating flight operations for professional pilots worldwide. That experience gave me a deep understanding of real-world, professional aviation — and I bring that perspective into every lesson.
I hold a Bachelor of Commercial Aviation from the University of Memphis and am fluent in both English and Slovak — making me an ideal instructor for Slovak-speaking students as well.
What I Offer
Structured, student-centered flight training tailored to your goals and pace. Whether you want to fly for fun or pursue a professional career, I'll build a path that works for you.

Fly safely in clouds and low-visibility conditions. An instrument rating makes you a more capable, confident, and safer pilot overall.
Not sure if flying is for you? Take the controls of a real aircraft. No commitment — just pure aviation. The best first step you'll ever take.
Master aerodynamics, weather, navigation, and regulations. Thorough ground knowledge is the foundation every great pilot is built on.
Targeted prep for your FAA knowledge exams. Focused sessions to get you test-ready fast, covering exactly what the examiner expects.

The Fleet
Three Piper low-wings based at Charles Baker Airport (2M8). All are stable, reliable, and proven training platforms — the kind of aircraft that build real pilots.
The ideal first aircraft. Forgiving, stable, and honest — the Warrior teaches real stick-and-rudder skills from day one. Perfect for PPL and instrument training.
More power, more range, more confidence. The Cherokee 180 is a great step-up aircraft for cross-country flying and hour building on the way to Commercial.
