Summary

I recently became a veteran of the United States Air Force February of 2022, where I was an aircraft mechanic for the C-17 cargo aircraft for four years. I was stationed at Joint base Charleston South Carolina and have been back in my home state of Oregon for a year and a half now. I have had various experiences within the employment work force and within the United States Air Force, both of which had a big part within customer service. Within my time back in Oregon and away from the Air Force, I have realized what a big impact Airframes have had on my life and would like to get back into it in a big way. I am now looking for a career where I can grow and contribute to a team. I am a quick learner and dedicated and disciplined to striving for high standards and to do what it takes to be the best that I can be within whatever environment that I am in. My mission and goal in life is to bring value to whatever I touch or am a part of.
