I’ve spent the last 33 years fascinated by the nuts and bolts of General and Commercial Aviation Maintenance. From growing up and working on an airport to entering the airline/commercial aviation maintenance field, most of my life has been immersed in aviation. I earned my pilot’s license at age 18 and my Commercial, Instrument and Multi-Engine ratings several years later.

In 1985, I began working for the airlines. Currently, I work for a major airline and find myself just as fascinated with my career as I did as a young man.

Even today, I look up at passing aircraft and feel captivated by where the aircraft’s destination is or where it has departed from.

When hearing an approaching airplane overhead, I can tell you what type of plane it is just by the sound of the engines. I put myself in the Captain’s seat and mentally go through the landing process. I consider myself fortunate enough to be so intrigued after all these years.

With the knowledge gathered being both a pilot and a technician, I have a full understanding of the entire aircraft system from top to bottom.

Throughout my career, I have witnessed remarkable changes in technology with aircraft evolution and maintenance procedures. It gives me great pride knowing with all the progress of technology, you still have to turn a wrench on any aircraft.

With the combined specialties of our team at Connell Aviation Group, I am excited and look forward to the opportunity in assisting you to get to the point above. I absolutely believe our team at CAG can elevate your maintenance practices and facilities.
