His flying journey began in April of 2023 where he started working on his Private Pilot Certificate. He completed all of his flight training in Eastern North Carolina from Private, IFR, and Commercial in a Cessna 172. He then obtained his CFI out of a small flying club in Washington, NC flying a Piper Cherokee 140. While living in the Southeast he enjoyed flying along the beautiful North Carolina coasts where aviation began its rich history. He has since moved to the Bay Area where he began his instructing position with Aerodynamic. He is passionate about anything and everything that has to do with flying and makes it his goal to constantly learn and improve his knowledge.

Max enlisted in the Army National Guard after graduating high school where he continues to serve as a Military Police Officer. Outside of aviation he enjoys pretty much anything to do with cars, hiking, and skiing along with the endless winter activities in Lake Tahoe.
