Michael is a graduate of the first class of Epic Flight Academy’s Aircraft Mechanic Program. He started his A&P technician’s career here at Epic. Michael is originally from Massachusetts and moved to New Smyrna Beach to initially attend private pilot training at Epic.
When the Aircraft Mechanic Program was initiated, he enrolled in the first class and was the first Epic student in the program to earn his FAA Certification. Michael then joined Epic’s maintenance staff to develop and gain hands-on training, allowing Michael to practice and expand his skills, presenting him the opportunity to further enhance his knowledge and experience base with a position with JetBlue at Boston’s Logan International Airport. He worked as a TechOps service technician at “Hangar” and “Line” positions on Embraer 190, Airbus 320/321 and Bombardier 220 aircraft. While at JetBlue, he completed his 190, 320/321 and 220 systems training.
When not working, Michael spends his time fishing and hunting with his dog, Betsy. His hobbies also include camping and hiking. In addition to his hands-on technical training and experience, Michael recently attained his degree in Aviation Maintenance Administration and is pursuing further degrees in the Aerospace field. Michael returned to NSB to rejoin the Epic team and is excited to assist and contribute to the success of Epic’s current and future students.
