Dan has been helping private aircraft owners trade planes and select programs for 25 years. After a decade of working for NetJets, Dan had spent countless hours working with owners trapped in contracts and irritated with the depreciation loss of their new aircraft. In response, Dan created Fractrade®, the world’s first open market, to help the members trade their pre-owned shares among themselves. Today, with hundreds of transactions completed and a team of experts by his side, Dan continues to help our members assemble the perfect deal. Expanding into whole aircraft and charter, he wants Fractrade Members to have the freedom to compare and use the best programs and planes available. Dan is active in the aviation industry. He is a member of the American Association of Airport Executives and the National Business Aviation Association. He is a former executive with the Cincinnati International Airport Board and serves on the Board of Directors for JAARS, a missionary aviation organization helping people in the most remote regions of the world. He holds a degree in Business Administration and Commercial Aviation and is a commercially licensed private pilot.
Olivia's primary focus is to keep our client's deals moving forward. Managing the contracts, offer letters, listings and numbers so that everyone is informed as we move through the steps toward closing. A graduate of North Greenville University, Olivia has built a career in transportation, most recently with the Maritime Services division of JAARS. She traveled to different continents to implement safety measures and manage the training process. Now, after joining Fractrade, she continues to volunteer her knowledge and experience to people in remote regions of the world that need water safety equipment and training. As you might expect, when Olivia isn't helping our clients or volunteering, she enjoys getting outside to camp, hike, and rock climb.
