Charles Macarthy , Regional Director – cmacarthy@AirSharesElite.com

Charles Macarthy has been an aviation enthusiast since he was five years old. It was only fate that one day Charles would be able to combine his very successful business and sales background with his childhood dream of becoming a pilot and working directly in the aviation industry.

In 1991, Charles was a regional sales manager for a very prestigious automobile company where he utilized his strong financial and client relationship skills. In 1996, Charles contracted with Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital where he worked as an emergency medical technician on life flight helicopters. While the helicopters were not airplanes, Charles was getting closer to his dream. In 2003, Charles graduated from Myers University in Cleveland, Ohio with a graduate degree in financial planning.

In 2004, Charles became a Partner in a National Financial Planning firm. Along with his two other Partners, this firm was one of the most successful firms in the Cleveland area. In 2006, Charles and one of his existing Partners branched off to form their own comprehensive financial and risk management firm.

By owning his own firm, Charles finally has the time and flexibility to pursue his pilot’s license and dream of flying his own airplanes.  Today, AirSharesElite Arizona maintains Charles’s indomitable spirit and entrepreneurial bent. Charles’s handpicked staff carries on a tradition of excellence in every aspect of the aviation business – reflecting their deep sense of loyalty to the company and to the standards set by Charles, and by his business partner, Mike Baehr.
