    About Tom Lelyo

    Tom is a husband, father, and lover of aviation. When he first started learning about private jets, he noticed there wasn’t a lot of content available for people who wanted real, down-to-earth information without any fluff or pomp. He knew that many people were curious before they bought a private jet, and he wanted to be a guide for the curious, the serious, and those in between. Tom pulls back the curtain on private aviation to help individuals buy, sell, or charter jets without wasting time or losing money.

    In 2021 and 2022, Tom was the top producer of his former agency, completing over 20 sales each year. In 2023, he started his agency, Jet Life Aero, where he looks to inspire the next generation of private jet brokers. As a former youth pastor, Tom wants to share his experience as a jet broker with others who aspire to change their lives through private aviation, as he did.
