Name: Ernest D. Siravo
Born: Washington, D.C., August 17th, 1949
Education: Georgetown University, University of California, Berkeley, 
Maharishi International University

Since graduating as an honor student at the University of California, Mr. Siravo has worked extensively in the field of stress-reduction and stress management. In 1973, he studied directly with India's prominent Yogic Master, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.  Soon thereafter, Mr. Siravo was to become a Founder of one of the Maharishi's most successful and influential Transcendental Meditation (TM) centers worldwide; then, in the area of Washington, D.C..  He later attended the original Maharishi International University as one of its pioneer and founding graduate students in beautiful Santa Barbara, California, and returned to Washington, D.C. to introduce the extension campus of the newly established MIU to the nation's capital.

Ernest Siravo has personally instructed Transcendental Meditation to hundreds of students over the years, and has given introductory and advanced presentations on this ancient Vedic technology to thousands of individuals in Washington, D.C., Silver Spring and Ocean City, Maryland, Berkeley, Palo Alto, and San Jose, California, Beijing, China and in Maharishi's homeland of India; where he worked closely with Indian nationals in Bombay, Gujurat and Calcutta.

In early 1980, Mr.Siravo teamed-up with colleague, and later to be Star Alliance Foundation Co-Founder, Peter DuMont, to begin the Mountain-Wise Group dedicated to establishing an integrated community of Yogic Flyers in Northern California. Shortly thereafter, he was invited to be the Coordinator of the Love Foundation, founded by lead-singer Mike Love of the Beach Boys established as a funding source for aspiring musicians and promising vocal artists.

The Star Alliance Foundation was a natural next step when in 1985 Mr. DuMont and Mr. Siravo, after creating Stars for Peace International, thought to organize the untold numbers of National and International peace groups and community organizations under a single, cohesive banner.  It was as a Founder of the Star Alliance, and as Producer/Director of the weekly Star Alliance World Peace Television Show, that Siravo was able to better hone many of his executive and creative skills.  As a result, he has brought and continues to bring these same skills to bear, in a consultancy capacity, on a wide variety of non-profit and profit-making ventures and entities. 

Star Alliance Global Goodwill Tours was established in 1992 by Ernest Siravo, beginning with  highlights of San Francisco, Berkeley, Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, and Northern California, and later in 1995, in conjunction with Gandhi International Memorial Foundation, arranged for group and private audiences with Pope John Paul II in Rome, Italy, Mother Teresa of Calcutta in India, and with much-acclaimed Satya Sai Baba in Puttaparty.  Having inaugurated the international scope of Star Alliance's Global Goodwill Tours, in 1996, Mr. Siravo began the first of seven such Star Alliance Tours in the Peoples' Republic of China (PRC) sharing plans, vision and leadership for the creation of a Star Alliance Friendship House in Kunming City, the Capital City of Southwest China's Yunnan Province.

Since creating Star Alliance Summer and Winter Camp Programs of 1998 and 1999, Star Alliance Tour Director Ernest Siravo has sponsored and personally assisted over 100 mainland Chinese students and adults from all corners of the PRC in their effort to participate in a global cultural exchange program sponsored by the Star Alliance and the YMCA of Fresno, California.  These same students and adults would later continue to the United States for an in-depth  tour of such well-known cities as: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. New York and Honolulu, Hawaii.  Star Alliance Summer and Winter Camp Participants completed their stay in the U.S. by enjoying a week of inspiration and natural beauty at California's Sierra Mountain/Sequoia Lake Camp with fellow-travelers from Japan, Russia, Eastern Europe and the USA.

Star Alliance Tours, in conjunction with Star Alliance Worldwide Limousine Network, continues to offer private and group Limousine, Cable Car and Bus Tours of the San Francisco Bay Area, domestic ground transportation and tours in major cities throughout the U.S., as well as, international tours to Nepal, China, India and France.  

As a result of both formal study and regular significant international travel and exposure, Mr. Siravo speaks conversational Chinese, German, Spanish and Italian, and is the Founder of the Mandarin Institute of America. Mr. Siravo is also Founder and President of JetPerfect Executive Air Charter Services, offering Aircraft Sales and Charters in the United States and Worldwide, including aviation's latest member of the growing VLJ Family of Aircraft, the Eclipse 500.
