  Precision Plus

  Dec 2017 - Apr 2019

  Perform inspections, maintenance and alterations of single engine airplanes. Working with the most diverse small group of aircraft mechanics I've ever met. We specialize in Cubs, but we're familiar with anything typically operated in AK and willing to work on anything with wings and maybe without. Like a good restaurant, the waiting list is long but worth it!

  Self Employed

  I’m an aircraft maintenance and inspection service primarily serving Cub and 100 series Cessna owners and operators in the Wasilla, AK area but I’m open to opportunities on other airframes and in other areas. With over 20 years of aircraft maintenance experience in military, Part 141, Part 135, and Part 91 maintenance I’ve develop a reputation for being thorough while doing everything I can to meet each customer’s unique needs. I recently earned my Alaska Assistant Guide License; anyone who knows me understands the achievement this is for me and anyone who understands the relationship between aircraft and hunting in Alaska realizes the opportunities this opens for me and my future employers/customers!
