Currently, I specialize in aerospace production and inspection within an assigned structural process. My goal is to continue within the production-assembly field as well as advance experience and knowledge in diverse areas of interest. I consider myself creative, widely read and enjoy task-oriented projects.

QUALIFICATIONS

I have maintained positions in the aerospace profession for 37 years. During my military service with the USMC, I was assigned to aircrew flight line duties which included helicopter maintenance assembly, inspection and repair. Furthermore, the years of military occupational specialty training served to develop my production assembly skills and knowledge.
