Aircraft Management
Derek developed a passion for aviation at a very young age, flying around Northern California. He became a private pilot at the age of 20, while attending college at the University of Oregon, where he received his Bachelor of Science in Economics. His admiration for flying translated into a successful sales career in both charter and aircraft sales for nearly 10 years. His well-rounded aviation background helped him create a vast understanding of how important the correct aircraft is for each client's mission and properly narrow down the difficult question of which aircraft to purchase in order to maximize client benefit and aviation experience.
Today, Derek continues to stay an active multi-engine, instrument, commercial pilot with over 1000+ flight hours between the King Air and Pilatus PC-12 aircraft.
