Matthew Bourguignon
Gold Seal CFII | Founder
Matthew is an aviation enthusiast driven by a childhood dream inspired by his model airplane-flying grandfather from Long Island. Despite initially aiming for aviation college, concerns about student debt led him to the tech industry after graduating in 2011. The 2020 pandemic reignited Matthew's passion for flight, and he embarked on training to become a commercial pilot, discovering a deep love for general aviation. Now as a Certified Flight Instructor Instrument (CFII), Matthew finds great satisfaction in helping others succeed. In February 2023, he founded Blue Skies Above, quickly growing with a dedicated team to fulfill his dream of growing a community of pilots.
