When we’re young, we may not clearly know what we want to do in life - especially when it comes to our careers. This was the case for Andrew Moore; he didn’t find what he truly enjoyed until his early thirties, which ended up being aviation. Andrew previously worked in construction on environmental and infrastructure projects. After a few years of obtaining certifications and interviewing, he became an assistant airport manager, and is now the airport manager at Frederick Municipal Airport.
Andrew really tuned into his intuition when it came to switching career paths - he had a gut feeling that aviation was the right place for him. While aviation is a dynamic environment and can be a bit hectic at times, Andrew loves the variety of work he gets to do as an airport manager. He’s learned that practicing empathy with people is vital, and taking the time to listen really matters. Andrew cares about his staff, and he always wants them to play to their unique strengths.
Leading with emotional intelligence has been Andrew’s biggest lesson in leadership so far. He is working to create an environment that is safe enough to give ideas and make mistakes, but also keep people’s lives and safety a top priority within the airport. If you’ve ever been curious about the aviation field and all that it involves, you won’t want to miss learning from Andrew in this episode!

“Thinking realistically, I had to say ‘How can I actually have a living, have a job, where I'm home regularly doing this stuff?’ After a lot of thinking, I thought maybe airport management could work. It kind of meets my background, meets my interest, and it turns out that it was pretty well spot on, because I like coming to an airport every day, overlooking the airplanes.”
