Dave Hartland

Dave is the founder of The Aviation Copywriter, where he partners with global aviation brands to turn complex ideas into clear, compelling stories. His connection to aviation started early, growing up under the flight path of his hometown airport and traveling often to England to visit family. By 14, he was already in the cockpit. After studying Aeronautical Science at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, he spent several years in the airline industry before moving into aviation copywriting. In addition to running The Aviation Copywriter, he also serves as a senior contributor and editor here at AvGeekery. Dave lives in snowy northwest Pennsylvania with his wife, Danielle, and son, Dax.
