Paul N. Peckham
A native of southwest Wisconsin, Paul has always had a strong interest in flying ever since he saw, at a young age, his first airplane (a piper cub). From that point on, he was hooked. Later on, Paul graduated from college with a B.S. in business administration and economics.
He spent the next 27 years in business in the dairy industry and from which he recently retired. At the same time, he was raising a large family (4 girls, 3 boys) which did not give him much time to scratch that aviation itch.....until now.
Paul is presently building a Pietenpol Aircamper and restoring a 1946 Piper J-3 Cub. Being part of an Aerolab dealership allows him to become actively involved in the light sport aircraft industry, something that has held his interest for quite some time.
