Blake was born and raised in Peoria, Arizona and has always loved to fly! For as long as he can remember, he has wanted to be a pilot. In high school, he worked at a glider flight school and traded his time for flight lessons. During his last two years of high school, he completed an aviation maintenance technician course and earned his A&P certificate. After attending college for engineering and business and working for a couple of years, he decided to pursue aviation as a career. He earned all of his certificates through CFI, CFII, and MEI and has been enjoying instructing!
In his free time, Blake enjoys being with his wife and two children, playing games, being outdoors, training for triathlons, and working with computers.
