Meet the Team
Gary Menzies
Gary has developed a great skill for understanding what his clients really need, analyzing the many complex options, and communicating the results in an understandable way. Clients welcome his ability to take the complex private jet industry, with its many variables, and deliver sound advice and fulfillment. While most people are selling jet charter, jet cards, or fractional jets, Gary represents his client's best interest.
​
His experience brings a unique perspective to an industry that is dominated by pilots with little business experience. He is an accomplished pilot but his entrepreneurial skills led to the establishment of a successful wealth management company. In that capacity, he provided advice and implementation for many professional clients and small businesses. His company provided comprehensive tax planning, investment advice, business consulting, and risk management. He applies his years of experience in business with his passion and knowledge of aviation to guide others through the maze in the world of private jet travel.
