Taking Risks and Helping Others

Last week, I sat down with the folks at FOX Business to talk about the aviation industry and my experience serving at the helm of a small business. Charlie Bravo Aviation and Charlie Bravo Charter have given me a front seat for all the good aviation can do, whether it’s a timely response in moments of need or helping a company becomes more successful with expanded influence.
I am continuously grateful for this job and work hard every day to pay these blessings forward. Speaking with others about my experience, I hope, shares how crucial aviation can be and shows why I am such an advocate for our industry.

On Tuesday, I sat down with Pimm Fox at Bloomberg Radio in NYC to talk about the aviation industry and some of my favorite aircraft on the market.
Charlie Bravo Aviation is working to spread the word that business aviation serves as a key competitive differentiator for successful organizations all around the world. This is particularly critical during our current economic recovery, as increasing your sphere of influence will help your business thrive. My discussion with Pimm on the subject underscores some of the reasons we founded Charlie Bravo Aviation.

One of the most gratifying things about being a business owner is the ability to give back to the people around us. Recently, I had the opportunity to apply the skills and connections I've gathered in being a charter broker to finding an aircraft to take some relief workers to Moore, Oklahoma to assess the needs of tornado victims there. Thanks to the generosity of Ed Dailey and pilot Al Sideras, the volunteers were able to arrive at a critical time in order to begin planning with other organizers and provide immediate assistance in the community.
Witnessing Celebration Church's First Responder Serve Team and the Austin Disaster Relief Network volunteers in action was an awe-inspiring thing. It was a reminder of what makes America such a great country—the generosity and concern of its citizens for one another.
While this was just an observation day for me, I continued to build relationships with relief organizations on behalf of the SkyHope Network, which is a non-profit that connects generous aircraft owners who want to donate the use of their aircraft for natural disaster relief efforts with groups and supplies best transported by private aviation. In cases like the earthquakes in Haiti, the use of private planes saved countless lives. You can get involved by visiting: http://www.sky-hope.org/
