Daniel’s love of aircraft started at age 13 when he took his first lesson, ultimately leading him to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Today, Daniel is a Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot (CSIP), having logged over 5,000 hours in Cirrus SR2X aircraft. 

Prior to joining LMA in 2008, Daniel served as a factory direct sales representative for Cirrus. He was the first Lone Mountain team member to receive his Vision Jet SF50 type rating in May of 2017, and now manages and flies an SF50 in Atlanta.

Daniel lives in the metro-Atlanta area with his wife Carol and son Britton. He is heavily involved with the aviation community in Atlanta through the Atlanta Aero Club and Angel Flight Soars.

Based in Knoxville, Tennessee, home of the new Cirrus Aircraft Vision Center, Mark became the first pilot in history to earn the Cirrus Vision Jet SF50 type rating in the new Cirrus simulator under Part 142 Certification in 2018. 

Mark joined the LMA team in May of 2014 after spending almost nine years working out of the Cirrus Aircraft headquarters. Here, Mark managed the preowned sales program and also worked in the flight operations department.

Today, Mark manages and flies an SF50 in Knoxville. He is a Platinum Cirrus Instructor with over 5,000 hours in Cirrus Aircraft and is qualified in the TBM, making his first Atlantic crossing in 2014. 

Mark cares a lot about quality. While in Minnesota, he worked extensively with the Cirrus Training Network to improve the quality of flight training in Cirrus Aircraft. With him, you won’t have to worry about top-notch work and service. 

When Mark isn’t working with customers and future aircraft owners, you can find him spending time with his wife Lindsey and their two children.

Paul joined the Lone Mountain team in January 2009 and has since been part of over 1,200 aircraft transactions. As an ATP/Platinum CSIP Instructor with over 7,200 total hours and 6,800 hours in Cirrus Aircraft respectively, he has flown all over North America, Europe, the United Arab Emirates, and Thailand landing at over 1,000 different airports.

Paul’s love for aviation began in college at the University of North Dakota where he earned a B.S. in Aeronautics which later led to a job with Cirrus as a corporate demo pilot. With a multitude of flying knowledge and experience, Paul is well versed in all things Cirrus so his customers don’t have to be. 

He completed his SF50 type-rating in November of 2018 and has accumulated over 825 hours since. He is an active member of the Las Vegas aviation community through his Cirrus flight training & service centers (All In Aviation) and Henderson airport hangar development project.

Spencer joined the LMA team in 2018, bringing with him nearly 20 years of experience in the industry and a passion to help clients find the right business aircraft solution for their mission.

Spencer is based in Chicago and is an instrument-rated private pilot and graduate of Saint Louis University’s Parks College.

His idea of free time doesn’t involve sitting still. When it is time to take off for a vacation with his wife Cindy and two children, JR and Elyse, he likes to learn a new skill or go on an adventure. Examples include learning to scuba, editing video, hiking the Sonoran Desert, tackling the Kalalau Trail in Kauai, running a marathon, or even learn Elyse’s favorite “Let it Go” on the ukulele.

John’s passion for aviation started young with his father, who owned many aircraft for family and business travel. John spent his childhood growing up in a flying community where his passion for all things flying grew tremendously. Assisting neighbors to build and restore aircraft led to John and his father restoring their own Cessna 172, which he later used for his private and instrument ratings. Since then, John has flown 25+ aircraft, logged more than 2,500 hours, and holds a commercial rating for single-engine land/sea, multi-instrument. John also earned his single-pilot type rating for the Citation 525 series. 

Before joining LMA, John started his aviation career at Cirrus Aircraft, representing the SR20 product line. He flew all over North America, selling and supporting a relaunch of the product. Joining Cessna Aircraft (now Textron Aviation) in 2011 for Citation business development in Chicago, John held increasing sales director responsibilities for the piston, Caravan, King Air, and Citation 525 product lines.  

John lives in suburban Chicago with his wife Jennifer and his three daughters, Ella, Abigail, and Olivia.  When not flying or talking about airplanes, he enjoys playing games with the family, boating on Lake Geneva, and tinkering in the garage.
