Summary
I contributed to Brad Sjostedt's team as a mechanic assistant. Over the last two winters, I worked for
Brad, we completed 2 full rebuilds on Super Cub airplanes. I am comfortable with routine aircraft maintenance, troubleshooting mechanical issues, and precision tool handling. I collaborate effectively with others, learning from my teammates and adhering to established procedures.
My seasonal commercial fishing job demonstrates my work ethic and ability to work long hours, keeping safety at a high level. I held a skiffman position, taking on additional seine boat operation responsibilities.
