I am a Husband and father, an aspiring aerospace engineer, and an Airframe and Power-plant Mechanic. I am passionate about aviation, nature, my family, and I love to tinker with any machine that goes fast! Good leadership and compassion under stress are qualities I look for in others and desire to increase in myself. Creating and developing something new is something that excites me and is what drew me into wanting to be an engineer in the first place. I love the process of experimenting, possibly failing, and learning, in order to create something better. Possibly interested in working in new aircraft certification projects or flight test programs in the future. I love the Harry Potter series, and am a sucker for any WWII history book, especially involving the air-war. I want to be a pilot someday, and with any luck I’ll own my own aircraft.
