I grew up in Kansas where my first job was working on the family farm with my Grandpa. I was visiting relatives in Tennessee in high school when I took my first flight in a Cessna 172 at the Murfreesboro, TN airport. I was instantly hooked and have spent most of my career in aviation by the grace of God.

I completed my Bachelor of Science as a Professional Pilot Major and also completed my Master of Science in Aviation Safety and Security Management at MTSU. I was both a flight instructor and check instructor at MTSU, and have also instructed at Maxwell AFB Aero Club and instructed independently for a number of years throughout my career.

After graduating from MTSU, I was an airline pilot for Comair operating as Delta Connection in the CRJ-200. After a furlough from the airlines I began flying part 91 corporate for a large medical company in Nashville, where I eventually became the Chief Pilot for a flight department with 2 Cessna Citations, a Piper Cheyenne III, and 2 Cessna 310’s. Since then, I have spent over a decade with the FAA as an Aviation Safety Inspector, and I am currently the manager of a policy section.

I have been married to my beautiful wife Samantha for over 15 years and we have 3 young and very active daughters and a cat that only shows up when he is hungry or wants petting. We love to sail together as a family, and that is where you will usually find me during the warmer months when I am not flying. We live in Fairview, TN and attend church at One Church Home.

I still remember the awesome feeling of lifting off the ground for the first time and instantly knowing that flying was my passion. I would love to share that passion with you and help you achieve your dreams of flying.

    I spent a large part of my life traveling the world as a musician before the opportunity for a discovery flight landed at my doorstep about ten years ago. That was all I needed to send me skyward, and I have not looked back since.

  • Christian Calhoun

    Flight Instructor

    CFI, CFII

    One of the few born and raised Nashvillians left, coming from a studio musician father and a Cracker Barrel employed mother, aviation wasn't always something I thought I would make a career in. However, when I went to college I wanted to do something that I was passionate about and could find meaning in. The answer came in the form of airplanes, and once I discovered my passion for aviation I never looked back.
