Tucker Baarson
I grew up on a farm, where i developed a strong work ethic and learned from an early age to work with my hands, solve problems, and take care of equipment. Growing up i also had a strong interest in airplanes, helicopters, and space, which sparked my interest in aviation. as i got older and even though i didn't go right into aviation right away, i got a national guard job with it and have loved every minute of it and want to progress into aviation and make it a career!
