Prior to joining NetJets Inc., he also was a successful entrepreneur who cofounded a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 135 Air Carrier utilizing the Cirrus SR22 aircraft.
“We look forward to hearing Brian’s motivational discussion and having you join us for this exceptional opportunity with one of the industry leaders and influencers,” said Nancy Ritter, director and chief instructor of the flight school.
