We Work with the Best in the Business!

Meet Our Team of Pro Detailing Experts at Final Approach Detailing!

Jessica Rook, CD-SV WC - Owner | CEO | Film Specialist | Surface Specialist

Jessica Rook is the Owner & CEO of Final Approach Detailing. From polishing, coating, installing most of our film, jumping in on details to running the books, consulting with clients, and managing operations, Jessica is the glue that holds Final Approach Detailing together!


Prior to launching Final Approach in 2019, Jessica spent 15 years in leadership roles building businesses, developing workforces, and managing business strategy. When the opportunity arose to establish a business doing something she loved, Jessica KNEW she wanted to go back to her roots! Growing up, Jessica’s family owned a specialty mechanic shop building custom engines, transmissions, and retrofitted mechanics for vehicles and marine vessels. As an only child, and with a mother away in the Air Force growing up, Jessica grew up in the shop with her dad cleaning up cars and boats getting them ready for delivery, car shows, and the boating season.


Jessica is committed to ongoing refinement of her craft and business. She currently holds numerous industry leading certifications in the areas of both skilled detailing services as well as detailing business management. Jessica is a selected member of the elite Air Force One Detailing Team and the Official Motorlux (formerly McCall’s Motorworx Revival) Detailing Team where she represents P&S Detail Products and The Detail Mafia at events like Monterey Car Week. Jessica also works hard at detailing the world’s most luxurious vehicles and aircraft at events like the Broad Arrow Auction and The Quail. 


Jessica was presented with the 2021 ‘Essence of Mafia’ award and is considered a “Made” Member of The Detail Mafia/Detailer’s Network in recognition of her commitment to the industry, network, her business and herself. She is an active and engaged member of the International Detailing Association (IDA), serving as a committee co-chair to advocate for the detailers and companies that are actively bettering the industry. With the IDA, she is credentialed as a Skills Validated and Certified Detailer, in addition to currently being one of only two advanced Watercraft (formerly Marine) Certified detailers in the state.


Fun fact about Jessica

At only 7 years old, Jessica rebuilt her first engine for a 1967 Camaro. That Camaro and many other show vehicles introduced Jessica to the world of car shows. This is where Jessica first found a love for mini trucks. Later, Jessica bought her first mini-truck at age 12 – and continued owning them until 2013 – parked right underneath the plane in our hangar at the airport!

Travis Rook - Co-Owner | Surface Specialist 

Travis has carried many titles over the years – including pilot, retail manager, plane owner, business owner, husband, father – and our favorite: SURVIVOR! Travis has experienced more in his life than most ever will – including battling cancer not once, but twice – with the odds against him every time. Travis has a unique passion for life after all he has experienced! We are happy to report that Travis’s cancer is NOT active – but because of the type of cancer and its long term effects, it is best for Travis to be in a role that is flexible, accommodating, and requires minimal exposure to risk. Out of this need, Final Approach Detailing was born!


Travis has an MBA and Bachelor’s Degree in Aviation Administration. Travis became a pilot in 2007 and began purchasing single-engine aircraft in 2009 with Jessica. Together, they began a business offering aircraft leasebacks and rentals through a flight training school in Kalamazoo, Michigan. After the dissolution of the flight school and business, Travis had plenty of time to turn his hobby into a craft and became passionate about keeping his aircraft expertly maintained.


Final Approach Detailing allows Travis the unique opportunity to spend time doing what he enjoys doing while allowing him the time and ability to focus on his health and well-being, getting back to where he once was as a business owner and operations expert. It also allows Travis to spend time with the family in the shop making memories!


Travis is also credentialed as a Skills Validated Certified Detailer with the International Detailing Association and is a recognized “Made” Member of The Detail Mafia/Detailer’s Network, where he heavily invests his time in bettering his craft and professionally networking with other detailers across the country. This allows him to stay abreast of the latest tools, technology, strategy, and innovation to keep Final Approach Detailing’s team of Surface Specialists at the top-of-the-industry at all times.


Fun Fact about Travis

While his medical history prevents him from flying independently – he still has a strong passion for aviation and enjoys providing subject matter expertise for other detailers in the industry that are interested in working on the unique needs of aircraft.
