Our Board

John Rutoski - Head of Board and Founder

 I have been a pilot for most of my adult life with experience in both small aircraft and 30 years of airline flying.  I spent 23 years in the Air National Guard in which I flew C130 aircraft.  During my last years in the guard I performed several non-flying duties to include developing training sites in central Minnesota. I will start out as the president of the board but will depend heavily on the other board members for guidance as we move forward. 

Cheryl Rutoski - Chief Financial Officer

Cheryl is a former school teacher of 33 years who retired this spring.  She will be performing corporate communications and will oversee accounting with oversight from Spiker accounting firm in Prior lake MN.  

Kristine Rutoski - Marketing and Communications Lead

Kristine is currently a Director of Human Resources for Insulet Corporation. She is based in Titusville, FL. She has 15+ years of marketing and communications experience and helps to ensure our many marketing channels are up-to-date. 

Paul Ghysels

 Paul also provides technical guidance with simulator development.  He also provides detailed satellite imaging for training locations.  He was in the Navy, an ER nurse and owned and operated a computer company in California.  He resides in Sacramento, California.
