Summary

I’m an experienced aircraft maintenance leader with six years of military service, specializing in managing high‑performance teams and ensuring the safety, reliability, and readiness of complex aviation systems. My background blends hands‑on technical expertise with proven leadership in fast‑paced, high‑stakes environments where precision and accountability are non‑negotiable.

I’ve led and trained diverse teams of technicians, coordinated large‑scale maintenance operations, and managed resources, schedules, and compliance requirements to keep aircraft mission‑ready. Whether troubleshooting intricate mechanical issues or guiding junior personnel through new certifications, I bring a calm, solutions‑focused approach grounded in discipline and technical excellence.

Beyond the hangar, I’m known for strong communication, clear decision‑making, and the ability to build trust across teams. I thrive in roles where safety, quality, and efficiency matter — and I’m passionate about translating my military experience into meaningful impact in the civilian sector, whether in maintenance leadership, operations, logistics, or technical management.

If you’re looking for someone who leads from the front, adapts quickly, and delivers results under pressure, I’d love to connect.
