Matt grew up loading hoppers for his dad, an ag aviator in the Great Plains of Oklahoma. Being raised in a farming community, on an airport instilled both a persistent temperament and a love of aviation in Matt. His stepmother is an aviation attorney serving the Texas Panhandle region. Her roots in law served to help Matt have the insights necessary to develop thriving businesses. After his father flew west while in the line of service as an aerial applicator, Matt shied away from a career in aviation.
When he and Lisa finished college, they built a lawn care business into one of the largest horizontal construction businesses in the southeast. Having spent 20 years in c-suite leadership in the construction industry, wishing every day that he worked in a trade he loved. When the opportunity presented to leave the construction industry he seized it. After a couple of years pondering next steps for his life and family he knew he strived for work to generate joy.
Merging his proactive nature with his love of all aircraft a second career in aviation sales made sense. A typical brokerage was not enough, the business had to be efficient and transparent. Two qualities sometimes are not found in aviation transactions. Yielding from a family that embraced adventure travel at every opportunity Lisa has an inborn sense of adventure. When Matt introduced her to general aviation, it was a natural fit.
The access to new adventures and technical challenges of being a pilot fueled her work ethic in the marketing and construction businesses. More success meant more money for airplanes! Being an expert in the field of digital marketing with experience accumulated handling projects both for large nationals such as Dow Chemical and small local businesses paired with a passion for extraordinary customer experiences, she is the perfect partner for both life and business.
