Former Corporate Pilot Becomes Mooney's Domestic Sales
Manager
Mooney Airplane Company
has named Rick Neely, 47, an experienced corporate pilot and
aircraft owner, as its domestic sales manager. David Copeland, vice
president of sales and marketing for the high-performance
single-engine airplane manufacturer, announced his appointment. In
his new role, Neely will supervise Mooney's direct sales force and
will be based at the company's headquarters in Kerrville.
"Our sales philosophy is founded on integrity, trust and the
establishment of solid, long-term relationships with our
customers," Copeland explained, adding that, "Rick Neely embodies
that same approach. His passion for our products is matched by his
desire to help customers make good buying decisions. His leadership
and experience as the owner and manager of a successful business,
in addition to being an avid pilot, make him an outstanding
addition to our sales force."
Neely, who has managed his own automotive service business for
the past ten years, gained sales and sales management experience in
the automotive industry, most recently at Cecil Atkission Motors in
Burnet, Texas. He has earned credits toward degrees in both
aviation science and criminal justice from Central Texas College in
Killeen, Texas. In addition, he serves as a reserve deputy for the
Burnet County Sheriff's Office. A licensed pilot with commercial,
multi-engine and instrument ratings, Neely has logged more than
1300 hours flying and has served as a corporate pilot for Trautman
Development in Laredo, Texas.
