Lake Travis Chamber of Commerce member and Lakeway resident Keith Durio with JKD Builder helped welcome a group of approximately 35 local business leaders to the Lakeway Airpark on March 6. Keith coordinated with local pilots to provide complimentary aerial tours of the Lake Travis and Austin area to the participants, serving as air boss for the eight planes participating. Pilots included Jesse Beckett, Robert White, Phil Grgurich, Jeff Brinkman, John Reinschmidt, Rich Judd, Steve Zbranek and Burke Edwards. Other ground crew included Lakeway residents Mike Collier and Jean Thompson.

“Many thanks to all the pilots and ground crew who answered JKD Builder‘s call to help with the Leadership Lake Travis aerial tour last week,” said Keith Durio, president of JKD Builder. “The great turnout of pilots and assistants on the ground exemplifies the comaradarie and give-back atmosphere of Lakeway’s aviation community, which is one of the things that makes the Lakeway Airpark community so unique and special.”

Leadership Lake Travis is sponsored by the Lake Travis Chamber of Commerce and provides a hands-on, interactive experience through which participants have the opportunity to enhance their personal and professional skills, gain a deeper understanding of community dynamics, and build a network of colleagues and associates in the south Lake Travis area.
