As another year begins to wrap up, I can’t help but reflect on what this company has meant to me, not just as a leader, but as a father. Integrity, hard work, and respect for people have always been the foundation of Duncan Aviation. This year, seeing both of my sons, Harrison (left) and PK (right), in the workforce here makes those values feel more personal than ever.
The twins grew up around the company, running through hangars, being a shadow to their grandfather, and getting to know the people who make this place what it is. They’ve seen the challenges, the late nights, and the celebrations, but they didn’t come here because they had to. They didn’t grow up with expectations; they had options, and they chose this.
Harrison and PK didn’t start working at Duncan Aviation to follow in my footsteps—they came to create their own paths. That’s what makes me proud. They lead with integrity. They challenge each other. And they care deeply about our team members, our customers, our partners, and our industry.
Watching them step into their own paths, bringing new energy and ideas to the company, has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’ve seen them listen, learn, and lead in ways that reflect not only who they are, but what Duncan Aviation stands for. Their journey reminds me that this company’s future is in good hands, not just because they’re my sons, but because they genuinely believe in the people and the purpose behind what we do and why we do it.
