Owner and Chairman, Brian Kirkdoffer, joined Clay Lacy Aviation as a pilot 35 years ago. Three months before his graduation from the University of Washington, as he was planning to move east to work on Wall Street, a family friend, Clay Lacy, who helped teach Brian how to fly at age 15, offered him another job opportunity that combined his interests in business and flying. “Come fly for me. You’ll get a chance to fly all over the world.” 35 years later, we’re here to say happy anniversary, Brian. #ClayLacyAviation #AvGeek #BizAv
