Founder Story
Meet Steve | Out of college, Steve “Junior” worked for his dad’s corporate aircraft appraisal firm, PlanesWorth. After working on assignments for private bankers, family offices and c-suites, he decided to steer his life toward routing HNWIs to philanthropy. His time in aviation helped him better understand how these individuals tick and what drives them toward charity. He consults under Coach Coonan.
He’s grateful for his time with these movers and shakers. They helped him build a world view and create social enterprises aimed at purpose and efficiency. Their calculated, conscious behaviors created real impact that impressively improved shareholder wealth and stakeholder health..
Serving children is Steve’s ultimate philanthropic focus. Namely, he’s an adaptive hockey coach serving those with special needs and physical disabilities. It’s not just on the ice that he serves; he strives to help them live robust lives out of it.
To merge his two passions, “Junior” created CareCraft in 2025, where earnings from his concierge private jet sales are donated to charities in need of funding. They serve at-risk youth as well as the children of active duty service members and veterans.
Like Steve “Senior”, CareCraft Jets will blend smiles and lightheartedness with focus and effectiveness. Junior believes this sets him apart from others in an industry that can feel cold or slightly out-of-touch.
Though he was a bit thinner during the Vietnam War, flying for the 34th Fighter Squadron, Senior had always been the same man up until his passing in May 2024. Fun-loving yet eager for the next mission, he navigated life and entrepreneurship in the same zestful manner.
“Combat Coonan’s” corporate aviation career would not have existed without the United States Air Force and its men and women that served our skies. They shaped and awakened him to his calling.
Though Junior didn’t get the same flying bug, he is enviously proud of his father. And, in all he does, he aims to make Senior proud while honoring his legacy as an airman, adventurer & entrepreneur.
Junior proudly laid Steve Sr. to rest at Arlington National Cemetery October 2025.
In Honor of Sr. & Military Families
