Csapo brings nearly 23 years of experience and
strategic direction to the Air Methods leadership team, where he
will service our primary stakeholders of investors, customers and
more than 4,400 team members. Csapo received his Bachelor of
Business Administration in accounting from the University of
Wisconsin at Madison, and his Certified Public Accountant
certificate from the State of Illinois.
“We are pleased to welcome a finance
professional of Peter Csapo’s caliber,” said Aaron Todd, Air
Methods’ chief executive officer. “He will bring insurmountable
experience and a fresh perspective to a critical function; one that

to invest in safety, technologies and training.”

gratitude to Trent Carman who has led the financial function of Air
Methods through its significant growth over the past 13 years. His
contributions and intelligent engagement of his role were
instrumental to our collective success. Trent always placed the
Company and the Air Methods team over his own interests and he will
be greatly missed.”

seamless transition.
