  Given my lifelong love for aviation and all things that fly, I feel right at home working here at Greenville Downtown Airport. I especially enjoy my work as a PLATINUM Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot-CSIP. The Cirrus aircraft are terrific and so are the Cirrus owners I get to meet along the way.

SATSair

• Greenville, SC

• Principal, Board of Directors, Director of Operations

  • Jun 2004 - Oct 2009

  Using NASA's SATS (Small Aircraft Transportation System) model as a business blueprint and working alongside some of the most talented aviation professionals in the industry, we were able to create one of our nation's first successful air-taxi flying services. We utilized up to twenty-seven Cirrus SR22 aircraft based in seventeen different domiciles across the South-Eastern United States. By bringing together more than sixty former air cargo, corporate, military, and airline pilots, and training them how to fly the most advanced single engine airplane of the time, we formed an excellent group of highly experienced professional Cirrus pilots. While using aircraft that only carry three passengers at a time, these pilots flew more than eleven million passenger miles over a six year period, while always maintaining an excellent safety rating and extremely high customer appreciation scores. I routinely (and proudly) received compliments on our pilots from their passengers and from their fellow employees. The pilots, however, were only part of this story; we had more than eighty five employees total that brought their determination and enthusiasm to work each and every day. Collectively, everyone applied their passion, knowledge, and skill to make this company a success. It was an exciting time; I am both honored and proud to have worked along side this group of professionals and for having been a part of this endeavor. Show less



Rhino Aviation

• Greenville, South Carolina Area

• Principal, CEO, Director of Operations

  • Jun 1992 - Jun 2004

  Rhino Aviation was a "grass roots" local air charter business. We were proud to have been the "first executive-jet air charter service" to open in Greenville. We hired many young, talented, and enthusiastic pilots, mechanics, and business professionals. Training and mentoring were daily rituals. Then, we would promote from within the company as we worked to expand our business. Together, we all worked hard and grew the company to become the busiest air charter service in South Carolina. Our talented sales and marketing departments were instrumental in pulling together a varied fleet of owned and leased aircraft that ranged from single-engine Piper's, cabin-class Cessna's, King Air Turbo-Props, to Citation Jets, and Sabre Liner jets. As we grew we added other services such as aircraft management, aircraft sales, and aircraft maintenance. As we noticed more and more new Cirrus aircraft being bought by local Greenville and surrounding area pilots, we opened a Cirrus Service Center to provide maintenance for their airplanes. We also placed bases in both Florida and Louisiana. I have many fun and positive memories from our time at Rhino!! Show less
