Summary
I was exposed to aircraft early in life and knew right away that I had the bug. I faced many obstacles that I wasn’t necessarily prepared for but have been a successful mechanic despite the barriers. I have flew, skydived and finally went to school for aircraft maintenance. My career has been an illustrious one thus far. I accomplished every single thing I set out to do with the exception of one more thing. I want to be home every night. traveled for work many years and wouldn’t change that for anything. I had some wonderful experiences and have made so many fond memories. Traveling does have its challenges though. At this point in my life I have bought my base home. I am local. I am an East Tennessean. I am ready to work at home. I selected this company to do just that. I look forward to meeting you all. Thank you for your consideration.
Well-versed in Boeing standards and trained on planes from manufacturers. Top-notch technical, diagnostic and refinishing abilities. Excited to learn about new systems and aircraft.
