How long have you been in the aerospace business?
18 years
How did you become interested in aircraft?
Father’s influence, and U-control and radio-controlled models when I was a kid.
What is your favorite aircraft?
Cessna 152. My father was a private pilot when I was in high school. He had to rent whenever he wanted to fly, and I went with him every chance I could. He gave me some instruction and let me take the controls a couple of times. I will never forget that feeling.
