Garrett Ruddell
CFI
Garrett has always been one for thrills, searching for the next big adventure. Sure enough, following in the footsteps of his 2 older brothers and getting peer pressured into it... he now flies full time. Jokes aside, aviation has been the next big adventure for him. Garrett is all about creating the best environment to learn and fly with his positive energy. Garrett married the biggest blessing in his life, Taylor, and just recently welcomed their first baby boy into the world, Jeter. If he's not flying or cleaning airplanes he is dreaming about the next tee time on the course or knee deep powder on the mountain.
