I have been in the aviation industry my entire life. I started at a young age cleaning belly's of airplanes for extra money. I worked at the local airport fueling airplanes and trading my time for flight experience. After high school, I joined the Air Force and was stationed at Luke Air Force Base under the 310th Fighter Squadron. My love for aviation lead me down the technician path and I obtained my Airframe and Powerplant license in 2005. I worked at the United States Air Force Academy maintaining Twin Otter and Super Cubs as well as gliders and Cessnas. I later joined the Army as a UH-60 Blackhawk crew chief. I was assigned to 2-135 Dustoff unit and deployed to Afghanistan. I was a co-owner in Lamar Flight Service at South East Colorado Regional airport. I am currently employed a Flight Mechanix.
