EJ is a dedicated Private Pilot currently attending Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University, where he is studying to become an Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic with the long‑term goal of flying cargo for UPS. His aviation journey began during his sophomore year of high school, and from day one he balanced rigorous flight training with academic excellence. EJ graduated as the salutatorian of his class and earned his Private Pilot License shortly after—an achievement that reflects his discipline, passion, and commitment to aviation. He brings that same drive and enthusiasm to every student he works with, inspiring the next generation of aviators.

Rachel Sewell began her aviation journey at just 13 years old and has been soaring ever since. She graduates high school in May 2026—but not before earning her Private Pilot License, achieving her PPL even before receiving her diploma. Rachel will continue her aviation path at the Florida Institute of Technology, where she’ll study Flight Management under a full academic scholarship. Her drive, discipline, and early accomplishments make her an inspiring example for every future aviator who walks through your doors.
