James Alaggio
James Alaggio is a twenty four year old student who is currently working toward a business degree at Raritan Valley. He aspires to earn a scholarship to a premier business school which will guide him to his goal of becoming an effective entrepreneur and leader, having a positive influence on society.
James has been a goal driven individual from a young age. He began working at Somerset Airport from the age of 13, earning his first solo glider flight by the age of 14 and his first pilot’s license at 16, before he could drive. He became very active in the Aviation Explorers, a youth development organization, and eventually served as President of AEP 107 for 4 years. He began experimenting with small corporations right out of high school and has been involved in activities ranging from aircraft demonstration and sales at airshows around the United States to implementing educational after-school programs in schools throughout the community. Today, along with managing his current business, he is co-chief pilot of an aerial advertising company, a light-aircraft experimental test pilot, advisor to the local Aviation Explorers Post and is actively involved in testing and developing sustainable technologies.
In his free time, James enjoys many sports and other adventures. When he is not flying, he is found on his human powered vehicle saving fuel and testing new equipment or on a catamaran sailboat practicing for competition. He enjoys meeting people and is often seen with a big smile, swing dancing at numerous social events.
James is honored to be part of the Alpha Epsilon Pi Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and encourages all students to visit the Phi Theta Kappa office at Student Activities in the College Center to find out how Phi Theta Kappa will enhance their college experience.
