Rancho Cielo Ranch Cast

One of my favorite interviews with the legendary pilot Sean Tucker.
He’s been there, flown that and continues to make a profound difference in so many young lives.
A great friend of Rancho Cielo, Sean is joined by his good friend Rancho CEO Chris Devers, Tiffany Harbrecht and producer Mary Jacobi.
An absolutely joyous hour of inspiration and hope. Along with some terrific stories of life in the clouds.

Last month we had the privilege of doing a program from Rancho Cielo’s Annual Career and Resource Fair.
What a marvelous event. Our students were able to learn about and get advice from local businesses on entry level positions.
Over 40 organizations were there to tell their stories. From the Salinas Police Department and Hayward Lumber to Hartnell College and the U.S. Army to name just a few.
We chatted with a number of students, heads of companies along with our founder, Judge John Phillips. Kudos to Jessica Montero and Christopher Almaraz for their hard work in putting it all together.
