The Incredible Office Staff

	Steve Cirino "FLYBOY"	President/Pilot

 

Steve Cirino/ President, I started flying during my senior year in high school, the following year I received my Private Pilots License and began my flying career. During the next two years I would hold down a full time job working line service for Ohio Aviation Company based at Cuyahoga County Airport on Cleveland’s east side. During the day I learned to fly and at night I cleaned aircraft for the FBO. Here I acquired the skills of buffing and polishing both aircraft exterior finishes and bright work. After completing my flight training I went on to fly various corporate aircraft, including an ATP in a Cessna Citation on my twenty third birthday (I actually passed the test on my twenty second birthday and received a letter of competency ) “what a kick”. Somewhere along the way I received my Bachelors of Science in  Aerospace from Embry-Riddle University and picked up some other ratings so that I could fly and instruct in helicopters/instruments and twin engine aircraft. At the age of thirty I was lucky enough to be the last pilot hired at the famous “Airline with a Smile” Pacific Southwest Airlines in San Diego, California. I started in the BAE 146 aircraft. After “PSA” merged with USAIR I was transferred to Pittsburg, Pa where I spent the following eighteen years flying the DC9/MD80, 737-200/300. I was very lucky to have flown with many wonderful and talented pilots during the close of the golden age of this industry. Rocky Mountain has allowed me to return to my roots in General and Corporate Aviation and find the fun again.

	Matt Corr	Head of Restoration and Detail

 

After graduating from Hiram College, Matt began his professional career by joining MBNA America as a financial specialist. He continued in the banking industry for 5 years as a private investigator and left when his portfolio was sold. Taking the opportunity to further his education, Matt graduated with a Masters degree in communication from Kent State where he taught public speaking and presentation skills for 2 years. Matt’s dream of flying began when his parents gave him an “exploratory flight” for his birthday at the age of 16. Due to the high cost of training, Matt put the dream of flying aside and focused on other endeavors, until destiny called, and he was invited to join the Rocky Mountain family. Matt is now managing the restoration and detail business and will be 3M’s only Eclipse certified protective film installer. Matt looks forward to growing the restoration/detail business, and rediscovering the great blue skies once again.
