About Us
Thank you for visiting our website! I am Chris Sumner, CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) Helicopter and Commercial Helicopter/ Airplane pilot and owner of HELO-MAX LLC.. I am pictured above with my wife Laurie Sumner in Kauai. And that blue helicopter is where this dream all started. You see, Laurie was diagnosed with cancer 2 weeks before we took this trip. But we chose to continue living in the light and enjoying adventure. We did not allow cancer to take us to a dark place. And thanks to cancer, we learned that you are never too old to dream. And you are never too old to live. In that blue helicopter, cancer reminded me to live. You see, as we flew over the Hawaiian Island, I said, "I will be a helicopter pilot!". And hard as it was, I did it.
