Bio
From the age of 15 I knew I wanted a career in, on or around aircraft. I started in a Cessna 150, TN: N22649. After high school I went direct to active duty. I had neither the money or the grades to do college. My USAF career kept me in contact with airplanes first as a mechanic, then an air traffic controller, back to maintenance (blew my flight physical) then finally as a machinist.
