CEO (for what that's worth..lol)
A company I started in 1985 to make my boost junkie racing habit a business. I still race and the company still exists, but I rarely do work on anything but my own vehicles/boats/Bikes and up until last year, my 1947 Navion, which I had to sell after the FAA made it illegal for me to house a non-flying aircraft in an airport hangar when some fancy pants with a new plane needed hangar space. Before I sold it, I vise gripped/spliced 2 control cables, fired it up and "accidentally" went airborne during a brake test on the ramp. Sold with 300 hours on the motor and 25 on the constant speed prop (yes, it had retractable landing gear too, Google them. I had a turbocharged Continental Six that was built about as hi perf as you could make it. VNE 220kts, had it to 308kts and had throttle left
