Sean and Jared in the cockpit

Our Story

Founded by pilots. Defined by results.

Piedmont Jets was founded from a shared path and a shared conviction. Founders Sean and Jared met over 20 years ago flying charter together at Epps Aviation in Atlanta. Both Georgia Tech graduates and ATP-rated pilots, they built their careers side by side, grounded in the values of discipline, integrity, and a deep respect for aviation.

As they transitioned from the cockpit to the business side of the industry, they were driven by a desire to take on new challenges and be measured strictly by their results. Despite evolving roles, their perspective has remained firmly rooted in firsthand operational experience and a commitment to doing things the right way.

The Mark of Place

What's in a name.

The name “Piedmont” is deeply personal, reflecting both where they come from and how they think. In Atlanta, the word is everywhere — including the hospital where their children were born. Broadly, the piedmont refers to the foothills that sit just before the mountains.

It serves as a fitting metaphor for how they approach their work: grounded, steady, and always pushing toward something higher. It also mirrors the places they value most, from mountain landscapes to the world's great wine regions.

We practice what we preach

We operate our own aircraft, creating a meaningful advantage over our peers.

Real-world experience

We've flown these exact aircraft in real-world conditions, managed the true costs of ownership, and made the same decisions our clients face. Our guidance is grounded in firsthand experience, not theory.

Agility & critical evaluation

This perspective allows us to evaluate aircraft more critically, spot risks earlier, and move quickly — including showing up in person to review an aircraft or close a deal at a moment’s notice.
