The one you're talking about is my co-captain 
Alex. We were both typed in the Falcon 10 and Westwind @ 21 and 23.

You guys were right..hes 22. He has had a good run to date flying 91 in a conquest and meridien at around 18 years old and now is into the jet(s). Pretty good story, he is well ahead of the power curve at this stage of his career.
