Joe McDevitt’s father was an airline pilot, so Joe was exposed to aviation early in life. Attending A&P school directly after high school, he first worked as a technician for a flight school and then with a defense contractor. At the Blank Family of Businesses, he has served in multiple roles, initially as a technician, then director of maintenance, and now as director of aviation, learning more and more about leadership along the way. To this position, he brings a broad understanding of the organization from budget to strategic planning and beyond. He also shares his time and experience with high school and college students interested in aviation careers.

“I love the networking and supportive nature of this industry. I always come across really great people,” says McDevitt. “I also appreciate the opportunities to travel and learn new things. Throughout my career there’s always been something different.”
