Josh Slowik
Board
Josh serves as the Chief Fixed-Wing Instructor, a United First Officer, and a Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE). He was raised in Redding, California, on a hobby farm with his parents and three sisters. Outside the cockpit, Josh is always on the move.

He keeps a full schedule but enjoys every minute of it. Fun fact, Josh holds dual citizenship in the United States and Switzerland.

Catherine Weber
Board
Catherine is the owner and operator of Silverhawk, a company she co-founded with her former partner in 1998. Born and raised in Cottonwood, Idaho, Catherine spent time living in several different states before ultimately settling in the Treasure Valley, which she now calls home. Despite her nearly daily presence in the office, Catherine maintains a variety of hobbies that keep her busy. She and her husband, Nick, share a lively household filled with horses, chickens, dogs, cats, and the joy of four children and five grandchildren. Deeply involved in their community and church, Catherine’s life is a vibrant blend of work, family, and service.

Nick Weber
Board
Nick is the advanced helicopter training flight instructor. "Being a poor kid from Chicago", he never imagined a life in aviation. He was going to be a priest (until he discovered girls), then a cop, which he became after leaving the USAFSS. Years later, after punching around with instructing, charter, commuters, and airlines, he went into the FAA (he approved Silverhawk 25 years ago!). After retiring in 2012, his focus is caring for his horses, serving and training his church security team, and his other great passion in helicopters, advanced mountain flying. Nick's goal is to help make every pilot better than he was before, in ways that will endure!
