The APEX Management Team
Ross Nyerges - Founder, CEO
Ross founded APEX Flight Solutions under the premise that the burgeoning Austin region needed high-quality corporate aircraft management and maintenance services. Ross possesses a Bachelor of Science from Embry Riddle University with areas of study in AE, ES, and Math, and holds both ATP and A&P IA certificates with type ratings in Hawker, Westwind, Citation V, G100, Lear 45, and Falcon 50/900 jets, with 5000+ hrs flight experience. Ross is a de facto expert in all things aviation and is passionately piloting APEX towards becoming a fixture on the business aviation landscape.
Adham El-Effendi - COO
Adham joined APEX after earning his bona-fides as the founder and operator of several successful entrepreneurial endeavors. A former professional tennis player on the ATP Tour, he holds a BA in business from Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University and is a fierce competitor. With his lifelong love of aviation, 1500+ hours of flight experience, including a commercial pilot certificate and SA227 and Hawker type ratings, he has a finger on the pulse of business aviation. Adham is helping position APEX Flight Solutions at the forefront of the aviation services industry in central Texas.
Clayton Corn - Dir. of Aircraft Sales and Acquisitions
Clayton’s road to APEX, and the aviation industry at large is eclectic and winding. He was a touring and studio keyboardist for some of the biggest names in country and Texas music for more than two decades. In fact, he’s a former voting member of the GRAMMYs and still finds himself in the studio or on stage on the rare occasion. Clayton has been a private pilot since 2003 and at the onset of the pandemic he decided to change tacks completely and follow his heart into aviation. Today he holds a commercial pilots license and has nearly 1500 hours in the left seat.
Clay currently serves on the board of directors for the South Texas Business Aviation Association (STXBAA), and serves as the chair of Comittee Development. He knows way more than he should about airplanes, and is ready to help you sell your current aircraft and find your next one.
