Eric Batdorff
Eric Batdorff built his life around movement — across countries, across aircraft types, and across ideas — shaping a perspective that is equal parts disciplined, curious, and quietly strategic. He pays attention to how things function beneath the surface: systems, behaviors, pressures, and patterns. Years of living abroad refined this instinct into something broader — an ability to read environments quickly, make decisions cleanly, and stay steady regardless of the setting.
His path began in the U.S. Air Force, where he spent eight years stationed in Japan, South Korea, and Germany. There, he managed the electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, engine, and avionics systems of fighter jets, rescue helicopters, refuelers, and cargo aircraft. The work demanded precision, accountability, and a level of clarity that stays with him today. It also gave him an early education in international leadership, cultural intelligence, and adaptability — lessons learned through lived experience, not textbooks.
After the military, Eric transitioned into private aviation as an independent consultant. He worked with VVIP clients, government officials, and executives on aircraft acquisitions and high-level projects across North & South America, Europe, Central Asia, East Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. His degree in Unmanned Aircraft from Embry-Riddle expanded his technical foundation into emerging technology and the future of flight. Over time, he built a reputation for being the person who can step into complex situations, cut through the noise, and bring order, direction, and discretion.
Today, Eric contributes his global experience and systems-focused mindset to the evolving vision of Lie Alonso Dynasty. His approach to entrepreneurship is straightforward: stay intentional, stay aware, build things that last, and make decisions that actually mean something. He values clarity over complication, strategy over noise, and execution over theory.
Outside of work, he trains in Jiu-Jitsu, yoga, and rock climbing — practices that reinforce presence and discipline. And in Jiu-Jitsu specifically, he appreciates the practical wisdom it offers: when something isn’t cooperating, you can always improve your position… or, when required, apply a calm, respectful choke until the problem stops arguing.
