Michael Zarate
Broker
Mike’s passion for aviation began with a drive to understand how advanced aircraft are engineered and operated….
...His background includes work on Skunk Works confidential programs, the V-22 Osprey, F-22 and F-35 platforms, and early urban air mobility concepts, giving him a strong technical foundation in aircraft systems and performance.
Today, Mike applies that engineering mindset to aircraft brokerage, advising owners and operators on acquisitions and sales with a focus on value, risk reduction, and long-term strategy. He is also a named inventor on U.S. Patent No. 10,994,859.
Outside of aviation, Mike enjoys fishing, playing ice hockey, and fostering dogs — pursuits that reflect the discipline and teamwork he brings to his clients.
