Gracen Jules
Organization Overview
Gracen Jules is active in aircraft leasing for flight training and air charter operators, and recently diversified into motorcoach leasing for independent schools.
The founder of Gracen Jules is a daddy of two young daughters that attend an independent school in New Orleans, and he recognized the cost-savings opportunity and simpler travel logistics associated with a school-dedicated motorcoach. He has proposed lease terms to his daughters’ school and is looking to expand this motorcoach lease opportunity to other independent schools around the southeast.
