With over 30 years in the design business , we have the experience and expertise to bring your ideas to life .
A : I ’ ve been working here for five years , but it still doesn ’ t even feel like work on most days . When I come in , I ’ m always doing something different . I ’ m not stuck doing the same thing over and over again . We have company-wide meetings every Monday , Wednesday , and Friday where people share what they are working on and openly communicate with one another . If the leader of one department hears something that might affect the team members in their department and the work that they are doing , they can reach out directly to another department leader to learn more about it . You can always check in with other people to get a better understanding of what ’ s going on , and that ’ s incredibly important to me .

Q : I understand that you are a pilot yourself . What role does that play in your life and your work at BETA Technologies ?
A : When I first got my private pilot ’ s license , my mother surprised me when she told me that I had fulfilled my father ’ s dream of flying . I had no idea that my father had trained to become a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War ! He ’ s been passionate about aviation ever since then , so I was very happy to know that I was carrying on his dream . I ’ ve learned everything I know about aviation since I first started working at BETA , and it ’ s become a big part of my life . I ’ ve gotten the chance to fly some of the planes that we have here , and last summer , I competed in the Green Mountain Aerobatics Contest here in Vermont . It was a lot of fun .
Q : What do you love most about living in Vermont ?
