Objective & Profile: UND aviation graduate and dual US/Canadian citizen holding a Canadian CPL**, Group 1 IR**, and passed IATRA. I’m currently working full-time as a CFI/CFII/MEI in Wisconsin, but I am actively looking to transition into a full-time entry-level pilot role in Canada. Because I’m instructing, my multi-engine and IFR skills are sharp, current, and line-ready. I also have a strong technical background, having worked as an A320 simulator technician at UND, so I am very comfortable with complex avionics, standard operating procedures, and advanced aircraft systems. I am available immediately and ready to relocate. I'm looking for an operation where I can put my head down, work hard, and grow. If I sound like a good fit for your company, please reach out by phone or email.
