Engineering Technician and Aviation Enthusiast
Do you have a hobby? Tell us about it.
Traditional archery. It has been a bit since I have been shooting twice a week, but traditional archery is instinctual shooting with either a long bow or recurve without any rests, sights, or releases.
What is your chosen discipline (engineering, planning, surveying, etc.)? Why do you love it?
Everything Airports. Having been in Airport Operations for many years, I have a unique insight into the process of developing and completing airport work. On top of that, I have seen challenges and successes in taking ownership of a completed project and being the one that lives with it.
Airport work is fascinating in that it is fast paced, and low tolerance. There is a lot of attention to detail and constant re-prioritization that makes the airport industry a fun and challenging career field.
What’s your superpower?
Insatiable curiosity. I am always interested in the ‘whys’ or ‘hows’ of things. I guess in that sense, I also have a super power for asking questions…
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
Antarctica. I have always been interested in Polar exploration and the vast wasteland of the continent. I would love to go down there to explore and kayak around icebergs.
If you could snap your fingers and become an expert in something, what would it be?
Finishing basements… because I really need to finish our basement.
If you could write a book about your life, what would the title be and why?
We’ll Get There Eventually!
I have lived a lot of places and done a lot of cool things in my life. All have contributed to where I am now, and it was done on my own time. Despite how much I tried to rush things sometimes, it all happens in due time.
What is one thing you’re learning now, and why is it important?
Country Swing Dancing. My fiancé is very passionate about dancing, and this is something fun that we want to share together.
