Michael Schneider

I'm Michael, founder and chief pilot of Pilots To The Rescue, a non-profit that flies at-risk animals from overcrowded shelters to adoption centers across the country. In 10 years we've saved thousands of pets from euthanasia, using our Kodiak plane and a network of volunteer pilots. Before dedicating myself to this mission, I built and ran media brands in the hospitality design industry, including founding Boutique Design magazine. I'm also a father of four boys, which keeps me just as busy on the ground. Ask me about animal rescue logistics, building a non-profit from scratch, volunteer pilot programs, and founding Boutique Design.
