What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in aircraft maintenance with opportunities for growth and teamwork.

I am a dedicated aircraft mechanic with over a decade of experience in the aviation industry, specializing in maintenance, assembly, and repair of various aircraft components. My journey began at Dyncorp International as an Aircraft Painter, where I honed my skills in preparing aircraft for paint and ensuring quality finishes. I then advanced to roles at Atlantic Irrigation and Parker Aerospace, where I developed strong leadership and technical skills, overseeing operations and assembling hydraulic valves for Blackhawk helicopters.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with the U.S. Air Force, performing critical maintenance on C-17 Thrust Reversers and F-15 wings. My expertise includes interpreting technical data, utilizing specialized tools, and implementing Lean Manufacturing principles to enhance efficiency. I pride myself on my ability to work independently and as part of a team, always prioritizing safety and quality in my work.
