Al has been obsessed with airplanes ever since he can remember. Growing up, aviation was all that he could think of - so much that his teachers told him he needed to start choosing different topics for his grade school projects. His passion is to welcome curious individuals and organizations into the aviation mindset, and to help them develop their mindset to pursue adventure, prioritize safety and fun. Al makes an impact on aspiring aviators by using creativity, real world experience and connections to foster a sense of community. His personal mission is to grow and lead aviation with every action.
