Upgraded: Dave Jackson Named CEO of King Schools

David E. Jackson, President of King Schools, has been named CEO and President by Co-Chairmen John and Martha King.

Martha commented, "Dave has been responsible for all operations of King Schools for years now and John and I decided to make his CEO status official."

John added, "Martha and I recognize that our greatest contributions to the company are in the development of our courses and in managing the way we relate to our customers, rather than in running daily operations. We will remain active in these functions, but Dave is in complete control of keeping all the parts moving in coordination."

Dave Jackson has been a pilot for more than twenty-five years. He holds a Commercial license with an instrument rating, a multi-engine rating, and a Cessna Citation type-rating, and owns a Beechcraft Debonair.

Jackson joined King Schools in 1997, coming from a background in television and film production. Jackson has been a director of photography on Disney productions, a producer/director of feature films, an executive producer of an ABC television series, and the supervising producer of ABC's Wide World of Flying for Capital Cities/ABC in New York, working with Phil Boyer before his days as President of AOPA.

John reflected, "Many people don't appreciate the sophistication of the movie business. A producer takes a couple of hundred people on location, and creates a movie on-time and on-budget that is an artistic success and sells in the market place. Movie producers are wonderful managers. We are very fortunate to have Dave at King Schools."
