Professional Bio
With over 20 years of experience in educational leadership and innovation, I serve as the Head of Schools at American High School Academy (AHSA), a fully accredited private institution with campuses in Kendall-South Miami and Hialeah-North Miami. Under my leadership, AHSA empowers students from diverse backgrounds, offering programs that graduate industry-ready students, equipped with certifications such as Private Pilot Licenses (PPL), Part 107 Drone Certifications, Fusion 360, and ATEK aviation maintenance certifications.
In addition to leading AHSA, I am a dedicated entrepreneur, heading American Wings Flight Academy and Aviation World Management, and I am the founder of the Meridian Technical Center, organizations designed to bridge education with real-world career pathways. My passion for aviation and STEM education extends through my role as founder of the American Center for Aviation Innovation (501(c)(3)), which provides underprivileged youth with access to transformative opportunities.
As a licensed pilot and professional skydiver, I bring real-world expertise and a passion for aviation that inspires students to dream boldly and achieve confidently. My leadership philosophy, shaped by my service as a U.S. Army 19-Kilo Tanker, my experience as a military contractor, and my academic journey, emphasizes discipline, vision, and a steadfast commitment to excellence.
I strive to empower students and communities, ensuring they are prepared to lead and thrive in an ever-changing global landscape.
