From Youth Pastor to Jet Broker
Tom is a husband, father, and lover of aviation. When he first started learning about private jets, he noticed there wasn’t a lot of content available for people who wanted real, down to earth, information without any fluff or pomp. He knew that many people were curious before they buy a private jet, and he wanted to be a guide for the curious to the serious and those in between. Tom pulls back the curtain on private aviation to help individuals buy sell or charter jets without wasting time or losing money.
In 2021 & 2022 Tom was the top producer of his former agency completing over 20 sales each year. In 2023 he started his own agency, Jet Life Aero where he looks to inspire the next generation of private jet brokers. As a former youth pastor, Tom wants to share his experience as a jet broker with others who aspire to change their lives through private aviation, like he did.

How we conduct business
Core Values
Positivity – Buying/Sell at Jet should be a positive experience. At JLA, we always see the glass as half full. We have an abundance mindset. Our clientsremember how we make them feel, more so than the information we share.
Resilience – We see problems as opportunities. We never shy away from problems because they give us a chance to shine. JLA agents are committed to doing the next right thing.
Education – Buyers/Sellers cannot make a decision without information. We answer any and all questions our clients have. We are committed to making sure all parties have the necessary information to make the best decision for themselves.
Transparency – Transparency builds trust. We are in the business of trust. We never hide anything from our clients.
Honesty – Whether we have good news or bad news, we are always open and honest. Even when the truth gives us a disadvantage, we hold onto it.
Humility – We may be professionals, but we aren’t perfect. We don’t get jealous. We work alongside others who can help us find success in a deal.
Responsibility – JLA agents take responsibility to solve problems and serve others.
Giving Back
As part of Jet Life Aero’s culture, agents are encouraged to give a portion of their commission back to a charitable organization of their choosing. Here are a few organizations we’ve partnered with in the past:
