FOUNDER, CEO, STA JETS
WHY: Grew company from one-plane charter at John Wayne Airport to more
than 30 aircrafts today.
RECENT: Saw gains earlier this year with the onset of the pandemic as some
travelers turned to private jets as an alternative to canceled flights from
commercial airlines.
NOTABLE: Has worked as a pilot, instructor and ran a
fixed-base operator jet center. Board member of GenNext, OC Chapter of Big
Brothers Big Sisters.
QUOTABLE: Told Business Journal in March he’d “seen a big drop off in booked travel, but we are very busy with panic bookings. Private jets are really the only
option travelers can count on.”
