The Owners

Josh is the CEO and fleet manager for AeroDynamic Aviation. In addition to company management, thanks to years of business college, he is also a pilot and mechanic. He learned to fly at AeroDynamic and was caught by the aviation bug. You’ll often catch him hopping out of his J3 Cub with barefeet with a grin on his face. He’s happy to share his love of flying and knowledge, so track him down in the hangar and ask him how airplanes work.

Jen is the Chief Instructor, so chances are you will fly with her at some point. In her spare time she flies in aerobatic competitions, writes documents for AeroDynamic, and flies with the staff of instructors. She's worked for the airlines in supervisor positions, pilot hiring department, and served 4 years as a first officer for Mesa Air on the CRJ. She moved on to flying corporate (King Air, Citation) and realized she loved teaching people how to fly.
