Sylvian “Sam” Carver is slated to begin in the position Dec. 22, according to Randy Renz, chairman of the Oconee County Aeronautics Commission.
The 42-year-old Carver was hired by Oconee County following a nationwide search after Short announced his retirement some weeks ago. Short served as director of Oconee County’s airport for nine years.
Carver has served as the director of the Slidell, Louisiana, municipal airport from 2007 until 2011. That airport is described on the city’s website as one of the largest noncommercial airports in Louisiana, home base to more than 100 airplanes and having 30 privately owned hangars. Like Oconee County’s airport, it has a 5,000-foot runway.
According to local media reports, Carver was one of eight upper-level city employees whose jobs were cut when the city of Slidell faced a financial crisis in 2011.
His profile with the American Association of Airport Executives says the Gulfport, Mississippi native graduated from Delta State University in 1994 with a bachelor’s degree in commercial aviation. Prior to the Slidell position, Carver was supervisor of operations at the Tallahassee Regional Airport in Florida and has held supervisory positions at Fort Lauderdale International Airport and at Gulfport-Biloxi Regional Airport in Mississippi.
