Charles Orchard
@charlesorchard
Aspiring aviation management professional with a background in sales and trucking.
What I'm looking for
My journey began in the sales and broker business, where I specialized in selling heavy mining equipment and machinery both overseas and within the United States. This experience honed my skills in negotiation and customer relations, laying a solid foundation for my career.
In 2021, I pivoted to truck driving after obtaining my Class A CDL license, driven by a desire for new challenges. This role has not only enhanced my logistical skills but also deepened my appreciation for the aviation industry. Currently, I am pursuing a degree in Aviation Management at Liberty University, where I maintain a 3.65 GPA. My goal is to further my education with a master’s degree in aviation safety by 2027.
