Dave Hartland

Raised beneath the flight path of his hometown airport and shaped by frequent trips to visit family in England, Dave developed an early and lasting connection to aviation. By 14, he was already in the cockpit, and after studying at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, he went on to spend several years in the airline industry. He later combined his industry experience with a passion for storytelling to found The Aviation Copywriter, where he partners with aviation companies worldwide to sharpen their message and strengthen their brand. Dave lives in snowy northwest Pennsylvania with his wife and son, where they are always planning their next adventure.
