Summary

A&P mechanic with a background in corporate aviation, working both hangar maintenance and AOG work. With a foundation in both fixed-wing and rotorcraft platforms, I prioritize safe, accurate work, while minimizing downtime. Due to a slowdown and possible layoffs at my current shop, I’m seeking a more stable, long-term role in airline maintenance.
