About John Ballenger

As a former military pilot, I help corporations and HNWI make the best decision to suit their aviation needs. We at Guardian Jet avoid the noise and utilize the data to help inform our customers in acquisition, brokerage, fleet planning and aircraft valuations. In an unregulated industry, why trust any body else. 40 of the Fortune 100 companies trust us, shouldn’t you?!Leveraging 20 years of military experience where I was able to provide leadership and management in areas of strategic planning, operations, administration, logistics, policy development, and aviation maintenance. I coach from the life perspective. Having endured family suicide, death of our daughter, and divorce, I have the belief that we are all products of our experiences which can be an incredible advantage. Fear, inadequacy, doubt, inaction, and imposter-syndrome can all be overcome if you have the right belief system in place.
