Hello, I'm R3 Aviation Services.Email VerifiedEmail address verified

My path in aviation was shaped early by family legacy. My father served as a helicopter crew chief in Iraq during the 1990s, and my grandfather was a decorated helicopter pilot in Vietnam who later flew Navy trainers and fixed-wing aircraft in Memphis, Tennessee. Growing up surrounded by their stories and service, I always knew aviation would be part of my future. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace with a concentration in Professional Pilot from Middle Tennessee State University, where I completed all of my flight ratings from Private Pilot through CFII. While I initially pursued a traditional career track in the airline and charter world, I soon realized my true passion was in general aviation and supporting others in the industry. That passion led me to found R3 Aviation Services, a company dedicated to making aircraft ownership simpler, more informed, and less stressful. My mission is to guide clients through every step of the sales and acquisition process, especially first-time buyers, by offering clear advice, efficient strategies, and reliable support well beyond the transaction itself. With a background as a Professional Pilot, Chief Flight Instructor, and Aviation Business Operator, I bring more than just brokerage to the table. I provide honest guidance, strategic insight, and real results built on years of hands-on experience and a trusted network within the industry.
