Our Story
A legacy of excellence.
CFI United was founded on a father-son partnership built on a shared passion for aviation and teaching. Carlos brings over 4,000 hours of instructional experience, while Zeke brings the operational and engineering knowledge and educational foundations from his tenure at Apple.
Together, we built CFI United on a simple principle:
"Flight training should inspire, not overwhelm."
From a single aircraft operation to a comprehensive flight school, we've grown while maintaining the personal touch that makes learning to fly an unforgettable experience.
