Boca Raton native, Peter Maestrales, got an early start on his aviation career with his first flying lesson coming at age 10 and by spending much of his childhood at executive airports in South Florida. The Maestrales family has been active in the Business Aviation community in South Florida for over 40 years.

In 2001, Peter began working in scheduling and dispatch for Commercial Aviation Enterprises, Inc.
