Who We Are

RACHAEL SMALL

The owner, Rachael Small, was born and raised in Virginia Beach. Growing up the only child, she was very active with her friends, especially in sports. She was often referred to as a “tom boy” because she preferred to play football with the boys. She remained active in sports through high school, and got her first job at a national retailer when she was 16. She was promoted quickly through the years and made her way to the GM of one of the highest volume stores in the company. While this job afforded her many opportunities, after 8 years she decided it was time for a change. Rachael took a business to business sales position for a local IP surveillance software company out of Norfolk. Shortly after, she had an opportunity to work for a global company where she worked her way to a Sales Manager. Then, one day her husband called and said “I have an idea….”

MARK SMALL

The founder, Mark Small, was born in Alexandria, VA and moved to Va Beach as a school age child. Flying is in his blood because his late grandfather was a professional pilot. His spirit will forever live on through Mark as he has his pilots license with instrument rating, and various other accomplishments. He graduated from high school and joined the Air Force immediately as he knew he wanted to represent his country the ultimate way, as a member of the US Military. He spent the next six years working on the C-5 as an avionics technician. When he got out of the Air Force, he started working as an engineering technician for the Coast Guard on the H65 helicopter. As a 30 year old married man with a young son, he decided to go back to school to pursue his Bachelors Degree in Aeronautics at Liberty University online. He worked a full-time job, was taking between 15- 18 credit hours a semester, and had a family to tend to. Then, one day he called his wife and said “I have an idea……”, and here we are today.

Mark has flying in his blood, and Rachael has entrepreneurship in hers. Her Dad, also a Virginia Beach native, has been self-employed the majority of his life. Mark and Rachael both enjoy time with their son, their dogs, and on the beach. Mark is an avid surfer, while Rachael cheers him on from her beach chair. They enjoying traveling to sporting events, visiting different places to see lifelong friends and/or family, and have a true appreciation for a cold beer on a beautiful day. They are people’s people and often participate in local charity events however possible. One goal that will ALWAYS remain a priority, both personally and as business owners, is to remain active in the community and supporting local charities.
