I’m a proud St. Louis native with a lifelong passion for aviation. Right after high school, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, where I served from 1996 to 2000 as a CH-46E helicopter mechanic. That experience laid the foundation for what has become a 28-year career in aviation.

After earning my A&P license in 2000, I began my journey in corporate aviation at a local MRO. Over the years, I’ve worn many hats—Lead Mechanic, Project Manager, and, for the past 17 years, Regional Sales Manager—building deep industry knowledge and strong client relationships along the way.

Outside of work, I’m a longtime husband of 27 years and a proud father to two amazing daughters, ages 21 and 17. When I’m not talking aircraft, you can usually find me on the golf course or at the bowling alley.
