I've worked in the Aviation Industry for many years, beginning on the Flight Line ground servicing all types of fixed and rotary-wing equipment from Ultralights through Transport Category aircraft. After about 10 years of Ramp Service to fund the Private, Commercial, Instrument, and Multi Engine ratings I progressed into flying a desk handling Material Control, Purchasing, MX and Flight Ops support for 91, 121, 135, and 141 operations. Along the journey I landed in Sales for Distributors, OEM,s, and 145 Repair Station operations with hands on shop work mixed in with administration. I have thoroughly enjoyed my Aerospace positions and have been fortunate enough to have worked in a wide range of companies and positions. This led me into a Search Consultant position in the Aerospace Industry which provides an interesting perspective to the employer-employee relationship. Beyond this I've been an outdoorsman for years, will hike/camp/canoe anywhere and am a student of ballistics.
