Born and Raised in Kapaa, I discovered my passion for flying right here on Kauai, where my father taught me how to fly over the island’s sunning landscapes. With deep roots in Hawaii and years of aviation experience, I began working with Air Ventures Hawaii to share the beauty of these islands from above.
Every flight reflects my commitment to safety, personal service, and creating unforgettable memories for our guests. Let me show the Kauai I grew up loving from lush valleys to breathtaking coastlines on an air tour you’ll never forget.

Born in Colorado and raised in Kauai, I first experienced aviation traveling between the islands and the mainland. After high school, I moved back to Colorado for five years to attend college and flight school. Now, I’m fortunate to return to Kauai and share its breathtaking beauty with customers at AirVentures.

I started flying drones in Santa Monica Ca in 2016 in the film industry. After getting into aerial cinematography with drones, I started flying airplanes out of Van Nuys. I flew a Cessna 182 around California and Arizona for a couple years before I moved to Kauai. I like to scuba, surf, and train in jiu jitsu. If you have any questions or are looking for recommendations feel free to ask me.

I was born and raised here on the island of Kauai. Growing up next to the airport, I would always watch the airplanes take off and land. This would fuel my love for aviation which ultimately led me to attending Central Washington University where I received my BA in Professional Pilot with commercial specialization in 2021. I started my PPL training in 2017 and got my CPL in 2021. Now im flying tours for AirVentures Hawaii where i love educating people about the Hawaiian culture and History of Kauai. When im not flying , you can find me in the ocean either spearfishing or surfing.

A passionate pilot from Isle of Palms, a barrier island off the South Carolina coast. His respect for the wind was nurtured from a young age as he spent his childhood sailing and kitesurfing along the beach. The turning point in his aviation journey came when he witnessed a friend paragliding above the grassy slopes of Haleakala on Maui. Captivated by the experience, he soon took up the sport himself, eventually transitioning to aviation.
Driven by a desire to expand his skills, Jesse moved on to airplanes, earning his certifications as a Flight Instructor and Multi-Engine Pilot while attending a career pilot program in North Carolina—historically known as the birthplace of powered flight by the Wright brothers.
Jesse later co-founded MV Flight School, the only flight school on Martha’s Vineyard, located off the New England coast. After countless adventures surfing and paragliding in Hawaii, he realized that the islands would become his home. Now, he is grateful to share the breathtaking beauty of Kauai with others every day, whether from the air or the ground.
