Mumm has decades of experience leading business aviation operations for Fortune 50 corporations, family offices and high-net individuals. He is type-rated with broad flight experience in Bombardier, Cessna, Dassault and Gulfstream aircraft and has flown to most corners of the world.
His extensive aviation background also includes significant military fighter experience as an F-15 and F-16 fighter pilot, operational test pilot, instructor pilot and Thunderbird pilot. Mumm, whose callsign is “Maxi,” is also a graduate of the prestigious USAF Fighter Weapons School.
The Air Force selected Mumm as Thunderbird 1, where he commanded the U.S. Air Force Thunderbird team, and flew as the lead pilot in every demonstration, performing before more than 20 million people in the U.S., Canada, the Pacific and Europe.
Mumm has given back through charitable involvement with the Make-a-Wish Foundation, the United Way, the March of Dimes and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. He has served on the National Board of Advisors for the Museum of Aviation, the Thunderbird Senior Advisory Board and on the Flight Safety Foundation’s Corporate Advisory Committee.
Born in Birmingham, AL, Mumm earned a bachelor’s degree in aviation management from Auburn University and later earned an MBA from Troy University.
