Garett Jerde
Owner, JetHQ
Connect on LinkedInOriginally hoping to be a professional soccer player, Garett Jerde eventually attended the University of North Dakota, planning to be an airline pilot. An internship at Raytheon, followed by a job ferrying aircraft, inadvertently led him into a career in sales. With a knack for bringing people together in a business deal and realizing he could do the job on his own terms, he launched JetHQ. Jerde recently participated in a charitable event running seven marathons on each of the seven continents in seven days to help prevent veteran suicides.
“Business aviation provides an amazing opportunity to create your own future. I am extremely grateful for all of the opportunities the aviation industry has provided me,” said Jerde. “My goal is to introduce as many people as I can to the industry.”
