In his previous roles in the aviation industry, Brian served as a flight attendant for private and commercial airlines, coordinator of in-flight concierge logistics, and director of in-flight services. Brian's aviation experience, communications degree, and compassion for people drive his enthusiasm for the charter aviation industry and focus on passenger and client satisfaction. Throughout the last seven years, Brian has infused his pillars of success into the fabric of our corporate identity, making Elite Team Logistics an internationally known and locally respected company serving our clients coast-to-coast with integrity and professionalism.
