I always was interested in aircraft and knowing about all the latest models. My father was a big influence on me. He taught me to work hard and encouraged me to follow my interests. My advice to young people interested in getting a technician's job is to get the most out of your education. To choose a profession and find out which of the local companies will offer advancement in technical fields.
Some companies even offer apprenticeship programs.
Learn to read and practice so you can read technical manuals. I enjoy fishing, I fish on the ocean, in fresh water lakes. My favorite kind of fishing is trout fishing. I enjoy walking along streams up in the Sierra Mountains. I also like to work outdoors and garden.
