Creig Kelley, Manager – ckelley@AirSharesElite.com
Comm ASEL/AMEL, AGI

Creig is ostensibly a synthetic organic chemist who obtained his pilot's license in 1983 to further a health club business he operated in northern Michigan after graduating from college. Deciding many years later to actually make his college major a career, he moved into roles in the chemical industry which included project leadership and quality assurance operations for products heavily regulated by both FDA and EPA. With an eye always on aviation, Creig became president of a owner-based flying organization that grew from one to three aircraft under his leadership, became an Advanced Ground Instructor, a proficient tail-wheel pilot with aerobatics experience, an avid skydiver, and a multi-engine rated commercial pilot with some turbine Otter time hauling up the skydivers with whom he previously jumped. He's not sure whether he'd rather be landing the DeHavilland or getting out at 14,500 - both are a lot of fun. Crieg also flies missions for the East Michigan Wings of Mercy.

Creig's background as a business operator making use of aviation, customer support and quality activities, and current flying interests make him a perfect match for assisting those desiring a new way of experiencing business travel and pleasure flying via AirShares Ownership of the best light aircraft available today - the AirShares Elite experience.

Don Weaver, Manager and Chief Instructor – dweaver@AirSharesElite.com
Comm ASEL/AMEL/ASES, CFI, CFII, MEI, CSIP

Don started flying early, soloing on his 16th birthday in 1975. The private and instrument ratings followed before heading off to college. While working as a chemical engineer in the chemical industry, Don gained experience in production and research operations, new business information management, project management and quality operations and is now a certified Six-Sigma Black Belt - for those who might have knowledge of recent industry buzzwords in the area of project management and applied statistics. However, it was his love of flying and a knack for teaching that led Don through a thirty year process of building experience, proficiency and ratings in preparation for what is now a leading role in training. Don is a good communicator, and believes in making the complex seem simple and intuitive via appropriate teaching techniques employed with unending enthusiasm.

Don is the chief instructor for a multiple aircraft owner-based pilot organization, flies missions for East Michigan Wings of Mercy and is also an avid aerobatics and tailwheel instructor.

It only took one flight on a small charter that Brett arranged in 2003 to open his eyes to this very enjoyable, convenient and flexible way of travel. He then caught the flying bug, training began and his fulfilling license soon followed.  With never ending enthusiasm, he enjoys spreading the General Aviation experience whenever he can.  Now he may also bend your ear about Harley rides with his wife but will admit he would rather land on 3 wheels than saddle up on 2.    

 

Brett brings a strong business background to Air Shares Elite.  Working 24 years for a leading North American general contractor, he specialized in Purchasing and Materials Management.  He really knows the true meaning of the term “value”.  One of the keys to success says Brett is that once you have identified and obtained this value, you must not only manage it properly but you must keep adding more value to it.  That’s where Air Shares Elite, Cirrus, the local FBO’s and the share Owners all play their own very important part.  It’s with this unique partnership that one big bundle of hassle free success awaits you. 

 

Currently a licensed real estate Broker in Minnesota, Brett is known as the High Flying Realtor and given the choice, would rather view houses from above than from the ground.  Helping people realize their dreams of ownership is one of the many areas of Brett’s expertise, and his knowledge and thoroughness makes working with him just “plane” fun.  Call Brett today and find out what Air Shares Elite can do for you!
