FLYTE is more than a non-profit organization. It is a community built by supporters and donors who want to empower students to change their lives \u2013 and the world \u2013 through travel.<\/i><\/p>\n
Many of our donors themselves are passionate about not only travel, but education as well, and John is no different. As someone who also works in the nonprofit sector with underserved communities, John wanted to support students and teachers of FLYTE in taking their learning beyond the classroom! We appreciate his generosity with full hearts.<\/em><\/p>\n I live just outside of Philadelphia w\/my wife, our two boys, and the family dog & cat. I’ve spent most of my career working in the education & nonprofit sectors with a brief stint in the travel industry. I enjoy good coffee, live music, following Philly sports teams, and of course, traveling anywhere and everywhere with my family!<\/span><\/p>\n I feel very lucky because travel has always been part of my life. Shortly after I was born, my Dad’s employer transferred him to Europe for 3 years. So I grew up with these amazing photos of me as a very small child at these iconic locations all across Europe. Of course, I remember nothing of those travels, but the pictures and stories certainly sparked my curiosity about the world. After our family returned to the US, I spent my childhood growing up in New Jersey but we always took family vacations. Road tripping across the United States in the “way way” back of the family station wagon certainly left a lasting impact!<\/span><\/p>\nTell us about yourself.<\/strong><\/h2>\n
