Russell (Joe) Bryan

My name is Russell Joe Bryan. I have been with The Home Depot Aviation department here in Atlanta for about 15 years. In that time some of the positions I have held are as Safety Captain, Standards Captain, Training Captain, and am currently the Learning Management System Captain for online learning and training tracking. Specializing in course development.

I am current on our Falcon 50EX, Falcon 2000LX, and Falcon 900EX Easy.

Other type ratings held are Falcon 50/900B, Global Express, Beechjet 400/MU300, Citation II/V, and the Sabreliner 60/65. My total flight experience is 10,500 plus.

The CAM (Corporate Aviation Manager) certification was attained from the NBAA in 2013 and I currently coach about 20 local and online CAM candidates with 6 successful CAM testing’s in the last year and a half.

My education background includes a B.S. from the Eastern Kentucky University College of Law Enforcement, a graduate course in organizational behavioral management from Morehead State University, and currently I am enrolled in the Occupational Safety Management Masters Degree program through Embry Riddle Worldwide University. I feel that self improvement and promotion is important in an industry that keeps moving forward in ideas and technology.

Some other courses include:

IBAC/ISBAO: Workshop and Auditors Courses 2013 and 2014

NTSB Training Center: Human factors taught by Dr. Rosekind

USC Viterbi: Human factors in aviation safety

NBAA PDP: Developing safety programs within a Flight Department

Served on: SEASRT (Southeast aviation safety roundtable)

(Continued)

While at Home Depot Aviation I have been involved in a number of our SMS (Safety Management Systems) initiatives. I am a certified ISBAO auditor and have helped prepare and hosted our last 3 ISBAO stage 3 audits. One thing I enjoy is working with and benchmarking with other flight departments in developing their SMS and or preparing for an ISBAO audit.

My previous work history includes a stint as a Chief Pilot from early 1999 to late 2000 of a small Atlanta upstart flight department which included a Beechjet 400, a Falcon 50 and a Falcon 900B. Before that I spent 3 years as a Citation V pilot for Ashland Oil in my home town of Ashland Ky. Prior to that I was a freight pilot in a Baron 58 for a few years and enjoyed my time as a flight instructor in college.

I am married to my best friend Lisa and have 2 daughters Hayley and Hannah who room together at Georgia Southern University. Some of our hobbies we enjoy together include boating, tennis, vintage cars, and fostering Bassett hounds for the Bassett Hound rescue of Georgia.

Chris Canon

I have been honored to be a part of the Georgia Business Aviation Association Board since last year. My position at Textron Aviation selling piston aircraft in

Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi gives me a great platform to recruit new members to the GBAA.

I have only been in the aviation industry for 3 ½ years now. My previous

experience has been in construction and manufacturing. Working in Citation sales for the past three years and now Cessna and Beechcraft piston sales has given me the opportunity to meet many of our members and attend most GBAA events over the last several years. I have seen the good work this group does first hand; I was

even awarded a flight training scholarship in 2013. I believe in the GBAA mission and look forward to continued work with the board.

Dan Davenport

Dan has been in the aviation industry for over 30 years. After leaving the Army in 1985 where he served as Crew chief to a 4 Star General, he joined Gulfstream Aerospace in the Service Center for a whopping $7/hr. At Gulfstream he performed his college internship in Tech Ops as a structural advisor to customers and MROs. He served customers at Gulfstream for five years. Typical of Corporate Aviation, Dan is the poster child in for lay-offs, Dan has had many great jobs with great employers and built lasting friendships, he and is likely the only person who experienced the benefit of both the Enron and MCI World Com issues in the 90’s. As an A&P, IA and with his BA in Aviation Sciences from Eastern New Mexico University, Dan has served the public as a short order cook at the Waffle House to corporate flight attendant, Director of Maintenance to Small business owner, A&P contractor to Pilot Instructor at Simuflite. He has learned how to get things done and how not to. He has learned that all experiences in life bring you to the person you are today and to cherish every moment. But most importantly he has learned that the one thing you can keep at the end of the day is your integrity. For the past 12 years, Dan has been with StandardAero. Today he is the in the Business Development group as Director of Airframe Programs where he is constantly working towards raising the standard. Dan looks forward to serving on this board if elected and will serve honestly, politely and professionally as those have proven to serve before him. We stand on the foundation built by the work of others. Let us honor them in the work we do. Here to serve, Dan Davenport

He continued his passion by obtaining his A&P certificate in 1993.
