What is your industry focus?
My industry focus has always been private aviation. I began my engineering career working as an engineer covering single-engine propellor planes. Since then, I have expanded my knowledge across multiple aircraft systems for various sizes of business jets.
What is your favourite aircraft and why?
My favorite aircraft is the Cessna Citation M2, as it was one of the first aircraft I worked on and also the first business jet that I flew on. I love working on and studying any business jet, regardless of the size.
Why do you love aviation?
I went to an aviation-focused university for my undergraduate education, so it was hard not to fall in love with aviation. Since then, my career has brought me into many different sectors of the industry that have only enhanced my love for aviation.
