About Me
Buckle up! Your Flight Sim Coach has arrived.
I’m ridiculously precise, endlessly patient, and absolutely obsessed with aviation, the kind of passion that lights a fire under everyone around me. My high energy is contagious, get ready to catch the motivation bug and level up faster than you thought possible!
My goal is simple, help you fly smarter, master procedures, and turn practice into proficiency in record time. I’m here to help you achieve your goals and make your sim truly work for you while keeping the process engaging and fun. I help pilots turn flight simulation into a serious skill-building tool, not just a game.
I’m a Commercial Multi-Engine pilot, CFI, and Instrument-rated (CFII coming soon), with real-world experience in the Cessna 152/172, Piper Archer & Seminole, and the turbo Cirrus SR22T, along with growing experience in the Fenix A320. My approach to sim training has paid for itself many times over by accelerating learning, reducing flight costs, and improving real-world proficiency.
I also specialize in building and optimizing custom home flight simulators. I’ve designed and fine-tuned a high-end setup using X-Plane 12 and MSFS 2020/2024, including VR (Quest 3) and integrated real-world avionics and hardware such as Flight Sim Builder, Real Sim Gear, and Air Manager. I focus on creating smooth, reliable, and realistic training environments, turning frustrating sim and hardware issues into setups you can trust.
Let's train with purpose, build real confidence, and enjoy the process along the way, I’m ready when you are. Let’s get flying.
Here's my home sim setup: 
Testimonials 3
“My instructor David S. was excellent. We had a slight glitch before I had to leave for a meeting but upon my return David texted and wanted to finish the session in its entirety and he did and my system is up and running”
“Dave is very detailed and very thorough and everything that he does. He is an outstanding instructor. I have enjoyed both of my sessions with Dave. You’ve got a good man here.”
“Dave was great! I am a brand new MSFS 2025 user and have much to learn. Dave was very patient and understanding. We covered trim, flaps, sighting, binding controls and other basics of the Sim. I plan to continue my training with him.”
