Transcript: How AIM Indianapolis Helped One Graduate Launch a Career at GE Aerospace

I started off playing music professionally when I was 13. I thought I’d be the next Stevie Ray Vaughan or Charlie Daniels. But music is a fickle business. I ended up driving our tour motorhome and realized I could drive — so I became a school bus driver for six and a half years.

Eventually I wanted more income and started asking around. A friend’s husband was a FedEx aircraft mechanic and asked if I’d ever considered aviation maintenance. I said, “Honestly, I don’t think I’m smart enough.” He told me I might surprise myself.

Soon after, I heard a radio ad for AIM. I wrote the number down, called, and asked my friend’s husband to tour the campus with me. I didn’t know one aircraft from another, so I asked, “Can I learn what I need to here to be successful?” He said yes—and that was all I needed.

I signed up that day and started my education. I worked on the red plane in the hangar (which used to be yellow), and did lots of projects here. I made lifelong friends, not just classmates but instructors who helped me through tough projects and taught me things I’d never seen before.

This is where I earned my license. I still come back and feel at home. Without aviation, I wouldn’t be where I am now. In 2019, I graduated, got married, got a job at GE, and had my first child.

If it weren’t for AIM and the grace of God, I wouldn’t be sitting here wearing a GE Aerospace T-shirt, proud of where I work. But I still wear my AIM logo too—because that was the first step. Now I can provide for my wife, my two kids, and even our two puppies. I wouldn’t have our home or minivan or success without AIM. And I’ll always be grateful for the Aviation Institute of Maintenance.
