About

Adam has spent most of his life flying or dreaming of flying.  He washed and refueled airplanes at his local airport and earned his Private Pilot Certificate while in highschool.  Afterwards he studeied Earth Science and Geography at UNC-Charlotter and commissioned into the USAF as a Navigator on the C-130E.  He later attended USAF Pilot Training and has piloted the C-130H and C-130J on missions around the globe.  Always true to his roots, Adam never stopped flying in general aviation.  After founding Wildwood Aerospace LLC in 2019, Adam left the USAF after 15 years of service.  He now serves with the Arkansas Air National Guard as a C-130H Instructor Pilot and continues to volunteer with the FAA Safety Team.
