GREG GAYLOR III
Executive vice president
GAYLOR INSURANCE AGENCY
Age: 34
Greg Gaylor III found a way to soar high and have his feet on the ground at the same time by combining his passion for aviation with an insurance career. “Insurance has always been in my blood,” he says. “It is also the reason I fell in love with aviation as a little boy. My dad propelled our agency into aviation lines in the late ’70s. We used to go to air shows and visit other aviation clients when I was four years old. I haven’t stopped looking up at airplanes since.” A former regional airline pilot, Gaylor eventually joined the family business, as it allowed him to juggle his many different responsibilities – a young family, Navy duty and a passion for leadership opportunities.
Gaylor’s accomplishments in insurance include being a co-founder of a sUAS [small Unmanned Aircraft Systems] tech-based insurance solution and founder of as UAS-based thermal image processing application for detecting ice dam formation. He is also part of the Aviation Insurance Association and the Experimental Aircraft Association Young Eagles Program.
