Graham's passion for aviation came about in a rather unconventional way.
Starting his working life at age Ten he worked his way up in his families yachting businesses, working everywhere from the service department, to the kitchen, even Managing the marine accessory store and gas dock.
At age 18 Graham Started a Yacht Brokerage Business to compliment his families marina which then took off to be his main pursuit (While juggling all the other hats Simultaneously).
Graham has Accrued an estimated 10,000+ hours operating boats, including trips through The Great Lakes, Boating side by side with Whales in the Gulf of the St Lawrence, Cruising with a gang of 50+ Dolphins following in the wake - 200 miles off the coast, Down the East Coast, Through the Bahamas (Staying at the late Jimmy Buffets home), and many adventures in between.
Hundreds of transactions, Tens of Millions in sales, and a decade later, Graham has leveraged his Experience to expand into the Aviation world.
Graham is the first pilot in his family of boaters, and man did he catch the flying bug. After a Sunrise flight to the Bahamas with a friend, he knew his life was about to change forever.
Since Purchasing his first aircraft, he's flown hundreds of hours exploring up and down the east and west coast, and everywhere in between.
Operating his aircraft at the highest elevation airports in North America regularly, landing on short strips on the tips of mountains, he has become a seasoned mountain pilot and deeply understands operational requirements for such unique missions.
Graham typically like to take a hands on approach to learning new skills, Aircraft Acquisitions and ownership was no different.
"In order to anticipate your clients needs, you have to be able to put yourself in their position. The best way to do that is to become your own client."
Graham bought a Beechcraft Bonanza and fully tricked it out with a custom interior, new propellor, and has gone through the full process of redesigning a new panel for it.
"I love bringing things back to life, redesigning something to both improve it and keep it functioning for another lifetime is very satisfying. Learning the complexities of the required documentation, specialized materials required, and the time required for each project was a priceless lesson I hope to pass on to my clients to make their lives easier."
Besides his restoration projects, Graham has spent several years preparing for this expansion into aviation. Creating the ultimate aviation experience requires the seamless integration of the best services in the industry.
To cultivate these relationships He's Attended many conferences like EBACE in Switzerland, BACE in Las Vegas, NBAA Tax Conferences in Chicago, even the OshKosh Fly-in.
"I believe in being a lifelong learner, my addiction to aviation seems to take over most of my daily reading rituals. The aviation world is continually evolving at more rapid rate each year, It is my job to stay current and ensure my clients are taking advantage of the current market"
His goal is to always create the best value and experience for his clients, and with over a decade of experience, He has proven he can deliver.
