Inspired by a father who served in Desert Storm—even meeting General
Colin Powell during his tour. Returning home, he instilled the paramount importance of
family and community into his son Marcus. The father became a successful entrepreneur, always focused on building up those around him and giving back to the Community. Marcus and David continue that profound legacy today through
their work—helping others turn skill, discipline, and curiosity into a future in flight,
while prioritizing the communities they serve.
