Looking for a change in your day-to-day? Talk to John! He left the corporate world to pursue a new career. The change was intimidating at first, but following his passion has brought him a whole new world of experiences.
John’s aviation journey began when he was eight years old. Sitting in the back seat of a Cessna 172 while his father was earning his private pilot’s license ignited a passion for aviation. Throughout the years, his passion for flying was only rivaled by that of music.
With a full tuition performance grant for tuba from West Virginia University, John chose music and graduated with a Bachelor of Music Education.
John has been a professional musician with the River City Brass for 25 years and an operations manager with a Pittsburgh law firm since 1994. While aviation was initially a hobby, opportunities in the aviation industry prompted a career change for him to pursue full-time as a second career.
