Before pursuing his dream of becoming a pilot, Ian built a career as a revenue and strategy leader in commercial real estate.  Now he’s channeling that same focus, discipline, and vision into aviation.

Minneapolis Professional Headshot | Sara

Sara leads with both heart and precision, working to improve how healthcare is delivered.  Her work focuses on people leadership and regulatory reporting.

And somehow she balances it all with a life full of of simple joys: getting lost in a good book (Agatha Christie is a favorite), tending to her garden, and spending time with her family (including a cat named Toulouse, who I’m pretty sure runs the show.) 

It was a pleasure to take Sara’s headshots.  Calm and confident- she made it look effortless in the studio.
