Nick Weber, Chief Customer Officer
Nick is an aviation enthusiast who’s had a lifelong passion for anything that flies. This passion, coupled with an affinity for tools and mechanics, led him to explore education in both aviation and construction technology. His journey into aviation began as a child building R/C aircraft, where he first learned valuable aviation basics, such as ‘takeoffs must equal landings’ - many weekends were spent on postflight repairs. After his first flight in a Piper Cherokee above the Cincinnati skyline he was hooked, eventually taking flight lessons and earning his private pilot's license at the age of 17.
In 2003 Nick graduated from the University of Central Missouri as a Commercial Pilot with a B.S. in Aviation Technology. His career in the aviation industry saw him collaborate with leading brands like Redbird Flight Simulations, gaining a unique exposure to general aviation flight training utilizing cutting edge technology. Later transitioning into the role of a Regional Sales Manager with PlaneSmart Aviation, Nick specialized in leasing Cirrus SR20/22s, turbo props, and light jets.
Amidst his professional life, Nick is a father and husband who enjoys embracing new adventures with his family in his home state of Alaska. For Nick, the convergence of passion, expertise, and an unyielding spirit for exploration defines not just a career but a lifelong journey of discovery.
