I have worked at Leesburg Executive Airport for over 15 years. I like working in aviation because every day is different. It is nice to talk to all the customers.
I love spending time with my family. I like to take my two sons swimming and to the county park. We like riding four wheelers on our property and being outside.
Courtney Desmarais

I love being exposed to all different types of people from all over the world. I enjoy hearing about different adventures they’ve been on and being so close to the aircraft is pretty awesome to see.
I enjoy camping, crafting & cooking/baking occasionally. I love to spend time with my family and my pup. I’ve just moved here from Upstate NY, but while there I coached a Pop Warner Cheer team & taught a Tiny Tots dance class. My family holds a Golf scholarship scramble annually which I do enjoy and put a lot of time into.

Working at ProJet is an outstanding opportunity for networking, developing relationships, and meeting great people in an industry that I am working to one day join as a professional pilot myself.

Miles Dewey
Manassas, VA
Ever since I was a kid I had a fascination with planes as well as tinkering with things. As I got older and was able to drive, I was drawn to working on and modifying cars, so I combined those interests and decided to go to school to get my A&P license so I can work on planes for my career!
Work on cars, hiking, video games, hanging out with friends.
Tom McFadden

No two days are alike. Every morning I wake up eager to see what adventure the day brings, and what people I will get to meet today! It is exciting to get to work in a fast-paced environment, facing the challenge of ensuring every single guest arrives and leaves here feeling special because we provided them with industry standard-setting service and attention.
While aviation is my life, both as a Line Service Manager as well as a pilot, music is my passion which I pursue as a French Horn instrumentalist with the Loudoun Symphony Orchestra, along with playing and singing at Church. In addition to this, I am an avid road-tripper, as well as nature enthusiast, disappearing to go camping as often as I can get away with it.
