Meet Our Team

Dean O'Malley - President of Jetpack America

Like many people out there, I’ve always been drawn to adventurous activities that allow me to get airborne, whether it’s jumping from a plane, snowboarding off a cliff or strapping a jetpack to my back. Through some amazing luck and good timing, I’ve been given the chance to live my dream of combining my love of flight with my business background. Since Jetpack America is still a very young company, I wear many hats, from Certified Flight Instructor to Social Media Rep to Marketing Manager, but my primary job is to help the world see just how much fun it is to fly a jetpack. My biggest satisfaction comes from the countless happy customers who come to me with positive feedback from their flights and rave reviews of all of our Jetpack America staff members.

San Diego, California

Nate Sinisgalli - Flight Center Manager

Hi, I’m Nate. I’m the Manager of Jetpack America San Diego. I’m originally from Bend, Oregon and moved to San Diego about 5 years ago in search of warmer waves and weather. I started at Jetpack America in 2013 and quickly realized that it was a company worth staying at. I’m extremely fortunate to be working alongside a wonderful staff that prides themselves in their customer service and will do anything to make each customers experience an unforgettable one. Not only is the Jetpack America team set on providing a great experience, but they are some of the most talented and selfless employees that I’ve had the pleasure of working with. If you’re looking for a fun, safe, and unforgettable experience, give us a call.

Jon Statman - Certified Flight Instructor

Hey, I’m Jon! Originally from Southern California, I moved back to San Diego from Oregon a couple years ago in search of blue skies and sunnier weather. I’ve always been passionate about flying, and I do it as much as I can, in every way that I can. I’m a skydiver, indoor skydiving instructor, and best of all, a jetpack flight instructor!I’ve been with Jetpack America for a little over two years now, and it’s the best job I’ve ever had. I love teaching people to fly, and seeing the huge smiles on their faces when they’re finished. Knowing that I have even a small part in the great experiences that people have with us is an awesome feeling, and flying isn’t bad either!

My favorite thing to do on the jetpack is a new trick we created, the downward cork. But the best part is that whether it’s your first time flying or your 1000th, there’s something to learn, and I guarantee you’ll have an awesome time doing it. So what are you waiting for, come fly with us!

Jesse Orlando - Certified Flight Instructor

They told me I couldn’t fly… How’s your desk job, now? Since I joined the team in 2014, I’ve looked to the sky for guidance. A born and raised Bostonian, I found myself on the left coast in 2010, and decided winter wasn’t all that necessary. After establishing a home base, I needed a profession to match my epic move: Enter Jetpack America.

Before my time with jetpack, I pursued a career in youth development. Ive worked with summer camps across the US, taught snowboarding internationally, and currently supervise an aquatic recreation program for kids and teens. Since the introduction of the Tandem Jetpack, Ive been given the opportunity to provide kids with an amazing experience while soaring through the air like a superhero. Seamless fusion. What more could you need?

Ryan Naumann - Certified Flight Instructor

An East Coaster born and raised but lived in Los Angles almost half my life. Always a water baby and an adrenaline junkie, I fell in love with jetpacking after the first flight and wanted to be a part of the team, even if it meant hoofing it all the way down from LA!

You can find me behind the throttle on the weekends helping the world learn to fly. During the week, I spend my time on my “day job”, which is writing and animating, and I’ve been designing most of the newest Jetpack America graphics.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

Kevin Harris - Flight Center Manager

What’s up, my name is Kevin Harris and I work for the best company in the world, Jetpack America! I was born in Las Vegas, NV. Coming from Las Vegas, there isn’t a lot of water here, so I’m sure you understand why I love working with water jetpacks!! I love all action sports, I grew up riding dirt bikes and still nothing compares to flying high on the jetpack! If you’re on the edge about coming and jetpacking, don’t think about it, just come out here and we will get you in the sky! If you’re in the Las Vegas area and you want to jump into a nice refreshing lake and fly a jetpack, give us a call!

Andi Bishop - Instructor Assistant/Office Rep

Hi, I’m Andi! I am originally from Willow, Alaska. I moved to Nevada in December of 2010 and I absolutely love it here! I’m not yet finished with high school. I’d like to study sports medicine in college. I’m a pretty competitive person. I am an adrenaline junkie, I love riding dirt bikes and quads, playing sports and going on outdoor adventures, so of course I love working for Jetpack America! What really makes it awesome is that almost everyone is in a great mood when they come fly with us because they’re so excited to fly a Jetpack! I like meeting people from all over the world and learning about what kind of adventurous stuff different people have done! And on top of that I get to go to work in my bathing suit and fly a Jetpack, a job doesn’t get better than this! Bring your family and friends to fly a Jetpack with you, it’s such a great experience and I guarantee that you won’t regret it!

Emil Nedelcu - Certified Flight Instructor

They say home is where the heart is. Well, I feel most at home when I’m in the water and in nature. Thanks to Jetpack America, I have the opportunity to share my love with everyone that steps through our doors. I was born and raised in California and I’m an Outdoor enthusiast, water junkie, adrenaline seeker and lover of the life I live today. I not only work as an instructor on the blades and pack but I’m also an electrician and yoga instructor. Seeing the smiles and joy in the faces of everyone we teach makes everyday worth it. “It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.” -Paulo Coelho.
