Greg Matyas served for 27 years in the United States Coast Guard as a helicopter pilot before bringing his skills to the Pentastar team.

While transitioning from multiple tours of duty into a private aviation position could have felt like a major change for Greg, it was actually a seamless next step in his professional journey.

Greg shared that the focus on standardization and safety he developed throughout his military career continues to be reflected in how we operate today.

We’re grateful for everything Greg — and all of our veterans — do to support each other and our clients. This Military Appreciation Month, and every month, we’re proud to have them on our team.

After a single discovery flight, Brandon Walker knew that becoming a pilot was the path for him.

Brandon served in the U.S. Navy as a firefighter and avionics technician from 2013 to 2017. Today, he brings that experience and discipline to Pentastar.

For Brandon, the professionalism, leadership and teamwork developed through military service translate seamlessly into aviation — becoming a major advantage when navigating the industry.

This Military Appreciation Month and every month, we’re proud to have talented individuals like Brandon as a part of our team.

When we asked Sammual Rowan what advice he would give to those considering the transition from military service to private aviation, his answer was simple yet impactful: “Just do it.”

Sammual’s journey at Pentastar began as a part-time mechanic and has since grown into a full-time pilot. The skills he developed as an Army 15T Blackhawk repairer have carried through every stage of his professional journey in aviation.

We’re honored to spotlight veterans like Sammual this Military Appreciation Month. His service and dedication have played an important role for our team and for our country.
