Alek Gavrilovski
President
I have always been interested in all things that fly, and got my start after seeing paragliders from my school’s window while sitting in class. As soon as I saw one climb above launch I had to give it a go. That was in 2003 and I’ve been flying since, and in the Atlanta area since shortly thereafter.

I started my path to the sky in 2019, when I saw some friends doing it.
I took a few tandems and was instantly hooked. I have been fortunate to fly in California, Colombia, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee.
Currently a P2 rated pilot.

Early in 2011 a paragliding coworker introduced me to the sport. After a quick search on the internet, I was hooked up with lessons and the club.
