Debbi Waltman
Debbi Waltman has been flying since 1993 in several western states including Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and Wyoming.
If you ask how she got started in ballooning, she’s likely to say ‘My Mother made me do it!’ After waking to the sound of a balloon flying overhead one morning, Debbi found she was hooked, and began a quest to get into the graceful sport of piloting gentle giants into the skies.
Almost two decades later, she still loves sharing the joy of ballooning with young and old alike.

Colin has been involved in ballooning since 1985. He fell in love with balloons when a pilot in Atlanta, Georgia landed in his families yard. His father Jim Graham was an experienced crew-person, so together they joined the balloon team as chase crew members. Colin grew up with ballooning, going to rallies, crewing for different pilots, and eventually began flight training in 1997.
He began his ballooning career in 1999 and opened Endeavor Ballooning, LLC in the summer of 2001. Colin is a Federally certified commercial balloon pilot and has flown in thirty states, five countries including Inner Mongolia, China, Mexico and New Zealand!
