Mr. Hugh Ehrlich,
a native Californian, founder/owner and Chief Pilot, has been ballooning
for over 30 years and has his FAA Commercial Pilot's license (required
for all balloonists) because hot air balloons are FAA certified
aircraft. He continues to be involved in the 4th of July
Bear Valley Springs Balloon Festival in Bear Valley Springs, CA, where
he came in 1st place in the 2011 event. He attended the Albuquerque
Fiesta for 25 years and likewise for the Great Reno Balloon Race.
Hugh proudly flies several different balloons:

In addition to ballooning, he has his Masters Degree, is a former school teacher (with an emphasis in Special Ed), speaks Japanese, enjoys judo, weight lifting, traveling andd has started "Unique Woods" -- a collection of "rustic" wood that he has acquired while bellooning and has turned into tables, lamps, and decorative items. Hugh is married, and is very proud of his 4 children: Rob, a Registered Nurse; Michelle, an auto mechanic; Ken Gee, a Chiropractor; and Julie, an architect. He is also extremely proud of his four grandchildren, Eric (25), Dylen (10), Haley (3), and AkiAnne (1). Thanks for joining our "Adventure"! We hope you enjoy your flight!
