CFI, CFII

I am a Shenandoah Valley native, from nearby Mount Crawford, VA. I have enjoyed living in the Valley for most of my life. I graduated from Liberty University in 2021 with a degree in Aeronautics. While working towards my degree, I completed my private pilot, instrument, and commercial multi-engine training through Liberty’s aviation program. In 2020, I returned home and began my training with Blue Ridge Aviation to earn my flight instructor certificate. I am excited to share my knowledge and experience with flight students while also becoming a better pilot myself. In my free time I enjoy hiking, skiing, and motorsports.

I grew up in Long Island, NY and moved my family to Virginia back in 2006. As a teenager, I was privileged to begin basic flight training through the public school system and achieved my solo flight before I was old enough to get my Driver's License. I've been flying with Blue Ridge Aviation since 2019, earning my Private Pilot, Instrument, Commercial and CFI ratings here. I bring over 20 years of corporate training experience to the role of CFI and I'm living proof that you are never too old or too young to start flight training. When my head isn't in the clouds, I'm spending time with my wife and 7 children.

build aviation ratings and experience, both as a pilot and mechanic. Kenneth is a graduate of Liberty
University, (Bachelors Degree: Aviation Maintenance Management 2020), and also holds ratings as an
A&P IA mechanic. For fun, Kenneth enjoys sports, outdoor activities, and cruising around the country in

As a very young child I had always been intrigued by the magic of flight. At the age of 10 years old I went to a fly-in at the Winchester Regional Airport and took my first plane ride. That flight helped me realize I wanted to become a pilot. I started my flight training at 15 years old, soloed at 16 and earned my private pilot's license at 18 years old. At 30 years old I continued my flight training with Blue Ridge Aviation, and within 16 months earned my instrument rating, commercial pilot's license, and flight instructor certificate. I served 9 years in the VA Air National Guard and I also served as a police officer for 5 years. I love teaching new pilots and watching them succeed, being a flight instructor is so rewarding.
