Elliott is a construction foreman specializing in underground utilities from subdivisions to major commercial developments. Elliott grew up in Geneseo, IL, roughly 45 minutes from Galesburg. His interest in aviation started from his grandfather being a pilot and building RC airplanes, to his father being a full-time commercial pilot. The love of the Stearman comes from helping his father restore a Stearman from top to bottom for roughly 8 years. Elliott has been involved in Labor Day parade in Galesburg for over 5 years, recently becoming the organizer for the National Stearman Fly-In’s spot in the parade. In his free time, he enjoys fishing, anything outdoors and especially flying the Stearman with his dad.
