Brian started his aviation career at age 16 when he took his first flight with a member of the Apollo Space Program,  Joe Minarovich at the Chautauqua County Airport (JHW). Having caught the aviation bug early in life, Brian has been acquiring the experience for his aviation consulting career long before most.

With the intent to become a Naval Aviator, Brian started undergraduate school at Jamestown Community College where he was taught to fly by Dave Hegedus, who remains with our Company today. After earning his ratings, Brian transferred to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL where he went on to receive a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Science. While there, he met the other love of his life, Kimberly Lovell-Chase our Business Development Coordinator.
