OUR TEAM
Gary A. Napoli - President, AMP & IA
Gary Napoli is a seasoned aviation professional whose career bridges the cutting edge of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s) to the demands of commercial and private aviation. Gary’s journey began with a degree from the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics, and has evolved through roles ranging from Airline Technician, Director of Maintenance, and Lead Mechanical Engineer on global military deployments. Gary spent nearly a decade with General Atomics-ASI, where he oversaw critical maintenance for MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper UAV’s under government contract, managing maintenance and operations in high-stakes environments.
Gary's technical depth comes from real-world deployment, but his experience expands beyond UAV’s to all powerplants and aircraft. Gary held senior positions with the LightShip Group and US Airways (Piedmont) and holds A&P, Rotorcraft, and FAA Inspection Authorization (IA) credentials.
Gary is also actively pursuing his Private Pilot License, bringing a pilot’s perspective to every wrench he turns, with his blend of technical depth and multi-section aviation insight positions him uniquely at the helm of ECHELON HORIZON. Whether it’s servicing multi-million-dollar aircraft, top-secret governmental UAV systems, or turboprop fleets for flight schools, Gary’s experience speaks for itself to a higher ECHELON of service.
Andrew Reese is not your typical aviation executive, an entrepreneur and renewable energy visionary, Andrew fuses technical expertise with the instinct of calculated risk. Andrews vision for ECHELON HORIZON includes technically advanced but elegant and economical solutions. Before founding ECHELON, Andrew managed the development of over a gigawatt (GW) of renewable energy ventures across the Mid-Atlantic including solar, wind, hydrogen, and bioenergy infrastructure navigating complex regulatory, financial, and technical challenges.
That same mastery now fuels Echelon Horizon’s mission: to deliver elite aviation services with the efficiency, clarity, and engineering discipline above industry expectations, but Andrew’s leadership isn't just analytical, it’s visceral. He’s an active superbike enthusiast, a Pilot-In-Training, and the founder of Sleek Media Collective, a creative agency built to currate digital assets with sophistication and compelling brand presence.
At ECHELON HORIZON, Andrew’s vision is simple yet radical: elevate the aviation experience, not just through premier services, but through trust and technical mastery. ECHELON HORIZON isn’t just servicing aircraft, it’s about reengineering expectations and having fun doing it.
