Hello my name is Brad Kuntz and I am currently majoring in aviation management in the Fisher College of Business. Ever since I could remember, I have always been fascinated with airplanes and what makes them fly. I was exposed to aviation at a very young age because my dad was a crew chief in the United States Air Force so we got to go to many different air shows. At first I thought aviation was mostly a hobby until finding out that there were multiple majors at the college level for me to take. At first I wanted to be a pilot and still have aspirations to get my private pilot license at some point, but I am leaning toward and have a greater interest in the business side of aviation. For some reason I am extremely intrigued by the logistical nightmare that goes with keeping an airline/ airport running smoothly. I would love to be able to work in any realm of the business portion of aviation such as flight scheduling, logistics, operations management, finance, maintenance operations, or anywhere else. I intend on receiving another specialization through the college of business in either operations, logistics, or finance to help broaden my skills for the future company that I am employed by. To get there I need to receive my bachelors degree in aviation management preferably with another specialization, an internship with an amazing company to allow me to get job experience, and with my time in the Air National Guard as a crew chief I feel like I will be a very desirable candidate for any company that looks at my resume. One of my life goals is to become the CEO of a major airline. My ultimate goal is to start my own airline from scratch and work my way all the way up to Delta, United, and American. As ambitious as that goal is, I need experience. I would start off by working for an existing airline and working my way through the ranks learning how to properly operate and airline and what can be improved on and incorporate that into my own. If the opportunity presents itself, I’ll do it in a heartbeat. This is my life goal for what I would like to accomplish in the world of aviation in my lifetime.
