Associate - Deborah Brignoli

Debbie's love of flying started with her first flight in a GA Cessna in 1964. While not yet a pilot herself, she is married to a pilot - not just any pilot, but an IFR - CFI - CFII pilot. Debbie began pilot training with her husband, but somehow students who paid took precedence. While only accumulating a few hours as a student pilot, Debbie has logged many hours as the chief safety officer while flying with her husband, AJ.

Debbie's avocation as an avid crafter, sewer, beader and jewelry artist brings her great joy, but her career sometimes takes precedence. (Darn those pesky paychecks - if only one didn't need them!) Since retiring as a health care professional and relocating to the beautiful Columbia River Gorge in 2004, Debbie thought she'd have more time for her hobbies, but was lured back to work by a local UAV company, finding herself intrigued yet again by this new aspect of aviation.

Apart from her work as the Lead AS9100 Auditor, Debbie makes time to pursue her hobbies and her other passions: family, friends, travel, entertaining, shopping, shopping, shopping...
