DAVE SIMON
After graduating the University of North Dakota.... I was hired as a flight instructor at the University, and taught primary training. I flew in Alaska for Peninsula Airways in a Metroliner for one year before coming to my present occupation as a pilot for Horizon airlines. I have a heart to serve the Lord, and have been involved on many short term mission trips to Nepal, China, and Mexico. I am grateful for the love God has shown me, and pray that I can use the gifts He has given me to prepare and equip His servants for the field!

JUSTIN SCHLIMPERT
I spent the last 12 years dividing time between a career as an executive sales manager and pursuing FAA credentials. I grew up in aviation as my grandfather was president of McDonnell Douglas during the space program years. I remember him telling me that if I could find a way to fly and serve the Lord it would be the perfect calling, so I join the ServantWings team with excitement for the future. I look forward to helping ServantWings and it's candidates mature and grow as well as getting to know each and every member personally and growing our faith and team together.

CRAIG HOCHSTETLER
Craig first began flight training while in high school with a pilot from Maranatha Ministries. He continued his training at Lane Community College and went on to become a flight instructor at Willamette Aviation in Aurora, Oregon, where he earned his Gold Seal. He graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a major in professional aeronautics and minors in aviation safety and management. Flying for Maranatha Ministries in the remote mountain villages of Nayarit, Mexico has provided a glimpse into the world of mission aviation. These short-term trips to Mexico have given him a desire to serve the Lord through aviation. Craig looks forward to helping Servant Wings prepare missionary pilots for their ministry.
