Summary

Entering the aviation industry early in my professional career, I started in the aerobatic and high-performance aircraft industry and now in defense contracting/foreign military sales; I bring a wide variety of aviation knowledge and experience along. I hold a valid FAA Airframe and Powerplant license with Inspection Authorization and have a strong management and quality control background in maintenance, avionics, and structures. With extensive experience in aviation maintenance, quality control, and management, I feel that I can be an asset to this organization.
