About the pilot
Hello, I'm Charles 'Chase' Sellmeyer, an entrepreneur and marketing expert turned professional pilot with a passion for adventure.
I have built my career around continuous learning, professionalism, and adaptability.
Flying comes naturally to me, but I never take that for granted. I take criticism seriously, seek out learning opportunities, and constantly push myself to improve. I thrive under pressure, work well with others, and bring a positive attitude to any team. As they say, I’m someone you wouldn’t mind being stuck with on a three-day layover.
I enjoy the camaraderie of aviation just as much as I enjoy the flying itself.
I am eager to find the right opportunity where I can grow, contribute, and be part of a strong team.
