John Heaps

John studies California AAM site selection from the parcel level: CEQA pathway, local zoning, surrounding land use, airspace constraints, and the economics that determine whether deeper diligence is worth the cost.

His professional focus is tax and real estate, with Heaps Advisory built around a specific market gap: California property owners need early, practical analysis before committing to legal, engineering, or full development diligence.

John is expected to complete a B.S. in Accounting from Brigham Young University-Idaho on July 23, 2026.

The practice is intentionally founder-led: one narrow question, source-backed analysis, and a clear recommendation on whether a parcel deserves the next dollar of diligence.

Heaps Advisory exists because California owners are beginning to face a practical question before the market has a standard advisory category for it: which parcels are credible candidates for future AAM infrastructure, and which ones are likely to fail on entitlement, operating, or economic grounds?

John's work starts with source documents and parcel facts instead of broad aviation forecasts. The operating method is to connect California real estate fundamentals, CEQA and zoning constraints, FAA vertiport guidance, and basic financial feasibility into an early decision memo an owner can actually use.

That focus is intentionally narrow. The goal is not to predict the whole AAM market; it is to help California property owners decide whether a specific site deserves more expensive legal, engineering, environmental, or investment diligence.
