Pilot/Entrepreneur/Traveler

Kevin—a pilot and serial entrepreneur is flying strong into the new year. His plans for 2014 are to travel while building his aviation classified site: BrowseTheRamp.com

Back up a bit. Serial entrepreneur? Yes, Kevin is an idea man with the ability to follow through. He told me he’s had his share of business project failures in the past, but the education he received in the process has brought him to where he is today. He understands how to harness perseverance and innovation to create successful, meaningful companies that are about much more than turning a profit.

After selling his business InstaMaids.com, an online booking maid service company, he set his eyes toward his passion—the aviation industry.


Kevin became a pilot at 17, and was an aviation lover for the 17 years before that. He plans on entering the online media sector of the aviation industry using “beautiful design, with easy to use user interfaces, and fun and engaging social media tactics to create a more unified, organized, and powerful aviation community.” Sounds great to me!


While the competition is stiff and there are many online aviation classifieds sites that are already established, Kevin took the challenge head on. What happened within a matter of months, Browse The Ramp began to dominate the social media side of the industry. Kevin’s Facebook page has 20,411 likes! And in the first month of his website being live, BrowseTheRamp.com saw over 15,000 unique visitors and tens of thousands of page views.

Kevin says, “Thank you all for your support, views, likes, comments and kindness that I have received within the Aviation Community with my venture.”

I love seeing the creative spirit, especially in pilots, and hope Kevin makes a great success of this venture! Please join me in wishing Kevin the best of luck in his business and make sure you check out Browse The Ramp.
