Crash & Learn: A True Story of Surviving a Plane Crash and Financial Crisis

by Andy Clark, Sean Donovan (Editor)

Andy Clark and his company, All Aboard Properties, are long-time developers and one of the largest owners of self-storage facilities in east central Florida. His path to success, however, was fraught with some tribulations. An aviation enthusiast from an early age, Andy spent many hours soaring through the skies. Unfortunately, what goes up, must sometimes come down. Such was the case on Memorial Day Monday, 2009 when the twin-piston Aero Commander that he was piloting stalled and plummeted into the ground, just short of the runway. The crash would cost him his father’s life and thrust him into a long battle of survival and physical recovery. The simultaneous real estate crash and world-wide recession would force Andy into a financial fight that would determine his family’s long, successful legacy. This true story of survival is inspirational on many levels. Whether you’re an aviation aficionado, a real estate developer, investor, business owner, a parent or a spouse, you’ll marvel at Andy’s staying-power and determination to triumph in the face of adversity and survive not one, but two, life-altering crashes.

Inspirational story

A moving story about recovery from tragedy and the value of family. As someone who has spent 30 years in the area, I enjoyed all of the local stories. Would recommend this book to anyone seeking inspiration.
