About

As an aviation professional with experience in aircraft financing, consulting, and strategic sales. My career has been dedicated to helping entrepreneurs and C – level executives develop value-added solutions for acquiring an operating business aircraft. With a solid foundation in aviation, insurance underwriting, and finance, I specialize in designing custom loan solutions that align with my client’s needs. My pilot experience includes an Airline Transport Pilot certificate (ATP) and a Certified Flight Instructor rating (CFMEII). With this background I bring an operating perspective to every transaction ensuring mission ready outcomes for FAA FAR Part 91, FAR Part 125, and FAR Part 135.

My mission is simple: to support the airplane owner with expert advice, and innovative financial solutions so they can move forward with clarity and confidence with their airplane.

Arvest Bank’s Equipment Finance – Aviation delivers a high-quality alternative to typical airplane financing. The Aviation group supports both FAR Part 91- business & pleasure and FAR Part 135- retail charter. Our team of financial experts and seasoned pilots deliver customized loan solutions designed to address the specific needs of aircraft owners and operators. Our expertise ensures mission-ready outcomes for both the owner and the operator/management company.

We finance both new and preowned aircraft. We finance the following:

  1. Light, midsize, and large cabin jets
  2. Single- and twin-engine turboprops
  3. Multiengine turbine helicopters

Each loan is structured, reviewing the client's financial stability, the mission, and the economic characteristics of the airplane. This through analysis optimizes the interest rates, loan terms, and amortization for the aircraft proposal. Our minimum loan amount starts at $2.5 million.
