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 | Nationwide Trainer
Jessica Rook is the Owner & CEO of Final Approach Detailing. From polishing, coating, installing film, jumping in on details, running the books, consulting with clients, managing operations, and traveling nationwide to train professionally - Jessica is the glue that holds Final Approach 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 and advanced film installation, as well as detailing business management. Jessica is a selected member and project leader of the elite Air Force One Detailing Team and has served on the Official Motorlux (formerly McCall’s Motorworx Revival) Detailing Team where she represents P&S Detail Products and The Detail Mafia at events during Monterey Car Week detailing the world’s most luxurious vehicles and aircraft at events like the Broad Arrow Auction and The Quail.
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 | Support
Travis has carried many titles over the years—including pilot, retail manager, business owner, husband, father—and our favorite: survivor. Having faced cancer multiple times throughout his life, Travis has overcome more than most people can imagine, always with remarkable strength, resilience, and appreciation for life.
Final Approach Detailing was originally born from a need to create a flexible, accommodating environment where Travis could remain involved in business while prioritizing his health and well-being. Over the past year, however, his health has changed significantly as he has faced a third cancer diagnosis and its ongoing complications. As a result, Travis is no longer actively assisting in the shop. While our customers may not see him working alongside the team, he remains an important part of Final Approach Detailing—supporting us from behind the scenes, encouraging our team, and continuing to be our biggest cheerleader.
Travis holds an MBA and a bachelor’s degree in Aviation Administration. He became a pilot in 2007 and began purchasing single-engine aircraft with Jessica in 2009. Together, they built a business offering aircraft leasebacks and rentals through a flight training school in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Following the dissolution of that business, Travis turned his passion for meticulously maintaining their aircraft into a craft—helping lay the foundation for what would eventually become Final Approach Detailing.
Although his role has changed, Travis’s presence within Final Approach Detailing has not. He continues to support Jessica, their family, and the entire FAD team from the background—celebrating every milestone, encouraging us through every challenge, and reminding us why this business means so much more than the work we perform.
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.
Gage Moore - Shop Manager & Film Specialist
Gage has a strong eye for detail and a natural talent working with more complex services, such as paint protection film and window tint installation.

Gage was promoted to Shop Manager in 2026, supporting day-to-day operations and working hand-in-hand with our team of Surface Specialists to ensure our first class service standards are maintained..
Gage’s unique sense of humor always has our crew laughing with his “zingers” and having fun while working hard. We have enjoyed watching his career grow over the years starting as a part-time Shop Assistant and developing into the strong leader and skilled specialist that he is today!
Fun Fact about Gage
Gage is a big fan of all things "chachkies". Whether it be a sticker, a lego friend or a trinket - he will LOVE it. Gage is also a dedicated cat-dad to his beloved almost 16 year old cat, Silkey. Ask him about his favorite Silkey socks...
Katie M - Administrative Assistant
Katie began assisting the Final Approach Detailing team with commercial service projects in December of 2020.
