Our Instructors
Alexander Miller CFI CFII
Austin Aviation co-founder
Alec’s passion for aviation began at a young age, and he’s gone on to dedicate his personal and professional life to the industry. At the age of 12 Alec joined the Civil Air Patrol and took his first orientation flight. Throughout his youth he continued training with CAP and ultimately graduated from a CAP flight academy during his senior year of high school where he earned his Private Pilot License. Alec went on to attend Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University where he obtained advanced flight certifications and a Bachelors degree in Aviation Management.
Jeff Walsh CFI CFII
Austin Aviation co-founder
Jeff has a deep passion for all aspects of aviation, especially the more technical areas. He got his helicopter private pilot license in 2013 and quickly added airplane and instrument ratings. Jeff’s career in tech allowed him to live around the world, and he holds pilot licenses in Australia and the United Kingdom. Jeff retired from Career 1.0 in 2024 to pursue aviation full time, quickly earning his commercial, CFI, and CFI-I ratings. Since then, Jeff has been building Austin Aviation into the school he would want to attend: career instructors, passion for flying, and a modern approach.
