Ben Wada: CFI, CFII

Originally a San Luis Obispo native, Ben spent his formative years on the Big Island of Hawaii. He made his way back to the golden state to get his start in aviation right here at SunWest! As a first-generation pilot, Ben hopes to help others get their aviation journeys off the ground. Ben brings to SunWest an easygoing attitude and laid-back atmosphere. A former tech genius at Apple, he has a knack for teaching and helping people, and he can’t wait to help you, too. *Disclaimer: not actually a genius.*
