David Lee , Regional Director – dlee@AirSharesElite.com
Aviation and building businesses have always been among David’s passions. Before founding AirShares, David held several positions with the Plastech Corporation in Atlanta. He began his career there in Corporate Sales, moved into Production Management, and eventually was named Chief Operating Officer. As COO, David expanded production to include a highly profitable line of proprietary aerospace and medical products.
David received his Private Pilot rating at age 16 and currently holds Commercial, Instrument and Helicopter ratings. David has nearly 3,500 hours of flight experience in a variety of helicopters, high-performance, vintage and warbird aircraft. In 1992, David placed fifth out of thirty-four teams participating in the first "Around the World" air race and has crossed the Atlantic three times in light aircraft. He was born and raised in Atlanta and holds a B.A. in International Studies from the University of Vermont. In college, David founded a ski apparel business, "Lupine Activewear," which he ran for 2 years before selling upon graduation.
Kevin Price, Regional Director – kprice@AirSharesElite.com
Kevin opened the New York metropolitan area office in 2002. Prior to joining AirShares, Kevin worked for an investment research and management firm in New York City. Having spent half his life living overseas, Kevin attended and graduated from Bucknell University in 1993 with a degree in economics. He is currently a student pilot and manages AirShares operations in New York, Philadelphia, Tampa and Washington, DC.
Richard Bertoli, Regional Chief Pilot / Operations Manager - rbertoli@AirSharesElite.com
An active member of the Cirrus Standardized Instructor Program (CSIP) and an expert on GPS for IFR operations, Rich continues to ride the cutting edge of aviation, from advancements in flight training technology to human factors study and adult learning concepts. He was instrumental in the acceptance of AirShares Elite's SR22 Transition Training Program by the FAA Industry Training Standards (FITS) partnership and has also made major contributions to Cirrus Pilot Proficiency Program (CPPP) presentation material. He has appeared on CNN and numerous local networks as an aviation consultant and representative of the Cirrus flight training community.
Rich believes that flight safety requires a commitment to education from not only the flight instructing community, but also the weekend private pilot. When a critical decision needs to be made, knowledge is more than just power. Hurtling through the clouds at over 200 mph, several thousand feet above the ground, it could be the difference between a successful mission and a very bad day.
Ray Reynolds , Sales Representative - rreynolds@AirSharesElite.com
Ray built the Southland’s premier flight training program in the 1990’s through an unyielding commitment to customer service and training excellence. He has over 5,000 hours of flight time in everything from Cessna 150’s to Hawker Jets and over 4,000 hours of flight instruction given. He retired from flight instruction after 9/11 and went on to earn his Executive MBA from the University of Southern California in 2002. Ray has spent the last four years immersed in business and management consulting helping start-up companies to realize their full potential. He returns to aviation to lead the development of our western markets – starting in California with Los Angeles and Orange Counties.
