Aviation runs in the family – Matthew’s great grandfather was a test pilot and trainer in World War II and his grandfather continued in his footsteps as a pilot. As a result, Matthew was introduced to aviation at a very young age. His first solo flight at age 16 launched him into a career of flying and maintaining aircraft. After graduating from National Aviation Academy in Clearwater, his passion continued into a career of contract work maintaining government owned aircraft all over the world. As a native Floridian, Matthew’s heart for his homeland nudged him to start his own business and put his experience as an A&P and IA to use locally in the Tampa Bay Area. This was the birth of High Altitude Aviation.
