Jeff Bolden

With more than 30 years in the airlines and experience as a check captain for one of the world’s largest carriers, Jeff built Aspire Aviation Academy on a foundation of professionalism and mentorship.

Throughout his career, Jeff has trained and evaluated pilots at the highest levels of aviation. At Aspire, he brings that same standard to every student — ensuring that each pilot who trains here not only meets FAA requirements, but also develops the skills, judgment, and confidence to fly as a true professional.

His vision: create an academy where elite aircraft, experienced instructors, and a culture of safety set a new benchmark for flight training in Kansas City.
