When Steve Zbranek was young, his life changed forever when his Draft Number 4 was pulled and he was selected for Air Force Intelligence. After 7 years in the US Air Force, where along with being awarded the Air Force Commendation Medal and the Air Force Meritorious Service Medal, Steve learned to fly planes and speak Mandarin, in a stunningly short time for both.

After serving his country, Steve served his passion for flight, becoming a Commercial Pilot and Multi-Engine Flight Instructor, in which he remains active today.  Interested in learning to fly while you build a home?  It’s a possibility with Steve Zbranek.

In the free time Steve has available, you’ll find him behind the throttle of something that propels him forward.
