Larry Theno had a 14-year career with Cessna. He was there when the Caravan was designed and put into production and was a part of the original team that brought the Caravan to market. He was then involved in setting up the marketing efforts of two of the original Caravan Authorized Sales Representatives (ASR) first in the central U.S. and later the northwest U.S. where he also set up an in-house Caravan leasing program. Larry gained extensive international experience in the Caravan as well as other turbo-prop, jet and piston aircraft.   Jerry Schroer was responsible for initiating and developing the ASR effort in the southeast U.S. In 1991, the Regional Sales Manager for the Caravan, interviewed several companies in the Florida, Georgia, and Alabama area. Jerry wrote and submitted the proposal, which resulted in his company being awarded the ASR for that territory. Through his efforts with the Caravan and other turbo-prop and jet aircraft, Jerry also gained broad experience in domestic and international sales. Prior to entering the aviation industry, Jerry owned and operated an advertising agency in Columbus, Ohio, and Naples, Florida. He continues to apply the experience and expertise gained from his almost twenty years in advertising to the marketing efforts of EWAS.
