I have been a pilot since 2007 and have placed a strong emphasis on flying safely since before I began Pilot training. Safety is my first priority and will always be at the forefront of all business operations. I have grown up in the Howell area and am proud to still live here. If you have seen balloons over Howell, it is likely you have seen me in action. I focused on competitive flying for the first 10 years of my flying career. This type of flying takes an enhanced skill set over just performing passenger rides as you often need to fly the balloon on the edge of its performance limitations. In 2016 I had my best year and I finished 6th on the NEL. That is a list of over 200 competitive pilots from across the nation and is ranked by average scores on competitive tasks. In 2017 I decided to pursue my commercial rating so that I could sell balloon rides, give instruction, and take on commercial contracts for large companies. Every year since then the company has continued to see strong growth and increases in revenue. The team and I have become a solid leader in the industry and truly enjoy providing our passengers an experience others are now trying to duplicate.
Your experience with a ride company can vary drastically based on who you choose to do your business with. I recommend you do some research before making your decision. Currently, I only offer PRIVATE rides for 2 people. You will not be forced to fly with other people in a larger balloon. This makes your experience more personal and private. I like to describe it as the First Class option within ballooning. It also allows us to be a bit more flexible on flight locations. I promise you will not be disappointed and you will be taken care of with the highest level of professionalism in the industry. I try and think of every detail so you don't have to.
Our equipment is some of the best maintained in the industry. We fly equipment manufactured and maintained by Cameron Balloons US, which is located right here in Dexter MI. They are hands down the leader in manufacturing balloons for our industry. We must fly the best if we plan to offer the best!
We are also proud to announce that we have been awarded the contract from RE/MAX of Michigan and took over their fleet of balloons at the end of 2019. We will take this program to new heights for RE/MAX and its amazing team of Agents and Brokers. RE/MAX is the biggest contract in corporate ballooning today and they have now chosen one of the best companies to represent them. If you see a RE/MAX balloon in the skies above Michigan, come say hello to us! We appreciate everyones support.
