About Me & My Credentials
Associate of Science in Aviation Maintenance
Graduated from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University with a 3.14 GPA.
48 of 66 credit hours are dedicated to airframe and power plant technical courses, which lead to a being approved for the A&P certification exams. My specialties are Electrical and Composite Technologies.
A&P License # 3754793
General Radiotelephone Operator License
The GROL is a license granted by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that is required to operate certain radio equipment. It is required for any person who adjusts, maintains, or internally repairs FCC licensed radiotelephone transmitters in the aviation, maritime, and international fixed public radio services. It is also required to operate any compulsorily equipped ship radiotelephone station with more than 1,500 watts of peak envelope power, a voluntarily equipped ship, or an aeronautical (including aircraft) station with more than 1,000 watts of peak envelope power. It is obtained by taking a test demonstrating an adequate knowledge of the technical and legal aspects of safe radio operation.
North Carolina Registered Notary Public
A Notary Public is an official of integrity appointed by state government — typically by the secretary of state — to serve the public as an impartial witness in performing a variety of official fraud-deterrent acts related to the signing of important documents. These official acts are called notarizations, or notarial acts. Notaries are publicly commissioned as "ministerial" officials, meaning that they are expected to follow written rules without the exercise of significant personal discretion, as would otherwise be the case with a "judicial" official.
OSHA-10 Certified
Entry-level workers with this credential have industry-specific knowledge and skills that help prevent injuries and keep workplaces safe and productive.
Professional Communicator
I have been to several developmental courses focusing on technical, intrapersonal, and professional communication in the workplace. Being an effective communicator is helpful in all environments, from the jobsite to the office to developing personal relationships.
Trained Automotive Specialist
In part of my diversified experience I received training on each system in an automotive profile, from the ignition to the exhaust I've got you covered. This training was separate from the mechanical experience gained in the Airframe and Powerplant Licensure. My specialty is the electrical system!
Aquatherm installer
Certified in Aquatherm installation and familiar with its interconnection methods to different pipe materials! Also trained in brazing, soldering, welding, and other pipefitting techniques.
