Na7ive Na7ions and Simplicity Jets Partner to Elevate Opportunities for Native
Youth Through Sports and Travel
Scottsdale, AZ — June 11, 2025 —Na7ive Na7ions, the nation’s first initiative to create
a sovereign Native American national diamond sport program, proudly announces a
new strategic partnership with Simplicity Jets, a premier private aviation company
known for its global reach and unmatched service.
Simplicity Jets believes in opening doors for communities that deserve greater access
and opportunity. The company is proud to support Na7ive Na7ions in its mission to
elevate Native youth through sport and culture by offering flexible travel solutions and
logistical support wherever possible. This partnership is about more than travel—it’s
about creating pathways to dreams. With access to over 60,000 aircraft and more than
8,000 airports worldwide, Simplicity Jets ensures the flexibility and premium experience
needed to match the elite caliber of Na7ive Na7ions’ growing programs.
Hunter Speer, a former professional baseball player and Executive at Simplicity Jets,
shared his inspiration for joining forces with Na7ive Na7ions:
“Baseball taught me countless life lessons—about discipline, resilience, and the value of
community. I want Native youth and others to have access to that same pathway. I had
the privilege of playing professionally across this beautiful country and witnessing the
richness of its many lands. Now, through Simplicity Jets, I’m proud to help create that
same opportunity for others by providing world-class travel experiences that open doors
and expand horizons.
DJ Carrasco, Founder of Na7ive Na7ions, added:
“This partnership with Simplicity Jets reflects exactly what Na7ive Na7ions is
about—bridging access, excellence, and identity. It’s more than just getting from point A
to B. It’s about helping people walk into every opportunity with professionalism and
pride. We’re honored to have Simplicity Jets walking alongside us on this journey.”
As Native youth prepare to represent their Nations on national and global stages,
access to reliable, efficient, and flexible travel solutions becomes a critical element in
leveling the playing field. This collaboration underscores both organizations’
commitment to creating opportunity and expanding the horizons of Indigenous athletes
and people of all walks of life.
“Our mission is to simplify the way you fly,” says Hunter Speer. “We are honored to
support Na7ive Na7ions in its journey to empower Native youth through sports, cultural
representation, and access to elite experiences.”
