Meet Our Instructors

My name is Julian. Since I was 5 years old I deeply fell in love with aviation and imagined in the near future that I would become a pilot. 23 years later, I became a flight instructor and enjoy seeing those smiling faces when we go up to fly. Everyday I look forward to meeting new people and sharing my wonderful experiences as a pilot to others. I do hope that I can make a difference on those who want to become a pilot and help them achieve their own dreams as well.

Eat. Sleep. Aviate. -Sound like a great day? You bet. Everyday. Hi, my name is Ethan. As far back as I can recall while growing up in a city near an airport, I became very fond of watching airplanes fly in and out. And while I never had aviation in my blood, I sure caught the bug. I am extremely fortunate to have learned flying mostly here in Southern California -a place with an aviation culture as diverse as its people. In my (so far) short flying career, I’ve had the opportunity to take on such roles as flying geographic surveys, city traffic watch, aircraft ferrying, charity mission flying, airline and charter. To date however, my favorite remains flight instructing. I am passionate about sharing this wonderful experience with anyone who is interested or even remotely curious. I look forward to meeting and sharing experiences with you. Blue skies!

I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley and grew up watching airplanes take off and land at Van Nuys airport from a very young age. After college, I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a pilot by completing my flight training in Kentucky. I hold a Certified Flight Instructor Certificate for Airplane Single, Instrument, and Multi-Engine. With over 3500 hours of dual training given in the Northern & Southern California area, I have trained student pilots ranging from zero experience to flight instructors. My focus is to create a learning environment that is both enjoyable and tailored to your aviation goals!
