Member

Jim Halley was an Artillery Officer in the United States Marine Corps prior to becoming involved with aviation. As an artillery officer, he gained immeasurable experience in operations and safety management and team leadership but also found that in the civilian workforce, there were not many opportunities for artillery officers. He was passionate about aviation and earned two degrees: a B.S. in Aviation Management from Florida Institute of Technology and an MBA in Aviation from Embry-Riddle. After working in the consulting world for a couple of years, he worked in airport operations at Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport and then Palm Beach International Airport. He then joined the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) in September 2014, as the Aviation System Manager and then became the Statewide Planning Coordinator in 2019 where he led efforts related to the Florida Transportation Plan and gained experience working with the Transportation Research Board, grants, and compliance. Jim then joined the Aviation Division as Director of Planning and Programming in May 2020.
