Accomplishments

As I have built and manufactured many different things throughout my working career, this has spilled over into my personal life with a lifelong interest in aviation. I became a Private Pilot fairly young in life, and have been fortunate enough to eventually own my own aircraft. My current job sees me inspecting aviation parts and assemblies for a local FAA Part145 repair station.
