A Few Highlights
Welcome to AIM Indianapolis鈥攖he beginning of your aviation career.
From playing music professionally to driving school buses, this AIM graduate’s journey took an inspiring turn when he enrolled at our Indianapolis campus. Watch how his hands-on training and the support of instructors helped him become an aviation maintenance technician at GE Aerospace鈥攁nd transformed his life along the way.
I started off playing music professionally when I was 13. I thought I鈥檇 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 鈥� so I became a school bus driver for six and a half years.
Eventually I wanted more income and started asking around. A friend鈥檚 husband was a FedEx aircraft mechanic and asked if I鈥檇 ever considered aviation maintenance. I said, 鈥淗onestly, I don鈥檛 think I鈥檓 smart enough.鈥� 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鈥檚 husband to tour the campus with me. I didn鈥檛 know one aircraft from another, so I asked, 鈥淐an I learn what I need to here to be successful?鈥� He said yes鈥攁nd 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鈥檇 never seen before.
This is where I earned my license. I still come back and feel at home. Without aviation, I wouldn鈥檛 be where I am now. In 2019, I graduated, got married, got a job at GE, and had my first child.
If it weren鈥檛 for AIM and the grace of God, I wouldn鈥檛 be sitting here wearing a GE Aerospace T-shirt, proud of where I work. But I still wear my AIM logo too鈥攂ecause that was the first step. Now I can provide for my wife, my two kids, and even our two puppies. I wouldn鈥檛 have our home or minivan or success without AIM. And I鈥檒l always be grateful for the 花季传媒.
