Alvin Brown

From humble beginnings in Brooklyn, New York, Alvin Brown dreamed of a career in aviation. As a child, he studied the airplanes taking off and landing at JFK International, memorizing aircraft types, airline emblems, and take-off and departure times.

After graduating with a degree in Aviation Management from prestigious Embry-Riddle University – the nation’s premier aviation institute – he began his own upward climb through the airline industry. In a series of career-expanding moves, Alvin learned every aspect of airline and airport management.

By 1997, Alvin had attained a senior position with AMR, the parent company of American Airlines, at DFW International Airport, where he developed the company’s distinctive WOW leadership and management program.
