Justin Stork transitioned into the cockpit following a decade-long career as a television producer managing large-scale productions and complex teams. This background instilled in him a meticulous attention to detail and a proven ability to excel in high-pressure environments.

Justin completed his initial licenses and ratings with ActivePILOT before earning his Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) rating in Nashville. Throughout his training, he maintained an exemplary professional record with no FAA violations or checkride failures.

In addition to flight instruction, Justin serves as a contract First Officer for a Part 135 operator based out of Van Nuys Airport (KVNY). He leverages this real-world operational experience to provide high-quality, practical instruction to his students.

His passion for flight is rooted in his childhood, inspired by the time he spent in hangars with his father, an A&P mechanic. This lifelong connection to aviation has evolved into a professional calling defined by a deep sense of purpose and responsibility. Outside the cockpit, Justin is a devoted husband and father who enjoys hiking with his family, traveling, playing golf, and grilling.
