Civilian. Interests are handguns, carbines, concealed carry, home defense, emergency medical, etc. Have done some training at TDI in Ohio. Took a Surefire lowlight shooting course years ago. Did some USPSA/3 Gun competition years ago but never got super serious. Worked a LGS & Indoor Range counter part time for a few years. Got certified as an NRA Basic Pistol instructor but let that lapse after quitting the LGS job. Got EMT-B registry senior year of college but never worked it as a job. Basically I know just enough about guns and stuff to not be a total derp.
I am an Aerospace Engineer. I’ve worked for a jet engine manufacturer, an airline, the USAF (civil service), and an aircraft manufacturer on commercial, military, and business jets. I was fortunate to get to travel some really unusual places and work on some interesting stuff when I worked for the USAF. My specialty is structural repairs and stress analysis. If your aircraft is hard broke I’m your dude.
I’m hear to learn what works, what doesn’t, and why and avoid common mistakes and learn the perspectives of people with more knowledge and experience.
