He is the Chief Executive Officer, CSI Aviation Services, Inc. (1979-present), and the Chairman of Seabird Aviation America, Inc. He directs the business operations of CSI Aviation which is engaged in aircraft charter and leasing services worldwide, and has a diverse customer portfolio that includes Fortune 500 companies and US Government agencies. As Chairman of Seabird Aviation America he leads an investor team that acquired the manufacturing and marketing rights for the western hemisphere for a uniquely capable light surveillance aircraft made in Australia and now certified for use in the US by the FAA.
