I was born on an island and raised in China…

I'm married with two children. Enjoy getting exercise by weight lifting and playing basketball. Hobbies include flying radio controlled airplanes, and working on my lawn/landscaping.

While growing up in China I became fascinated with airplanes because I would see them flying over my house as they were on their way to spray fertilizer on the nearby rice fields. Just to let you know I am a native Texan… The island I was born on was Galveston Island… and I was raised in China, TX (near Beaumont, TX.)

I hired on at Southwest Airlines in May of 1997 and am currently a Structures Mechanic in the Heavy Maintenance Dept.

  Out With The Old, In With The New

  When I was hired at Southwest Airlines in May 1997, we had just finished construction on a new hangar in Dallas to house the latest and greatest "Next Generation" Boeing 737, the dash 700. The -700 aircraft was much larger than the -200, -300, or -500 aircraft that we had in our fleet at the time.
