Travis left Hawaii, moved to Texas, and made a major sacrifice to become an aircraft mechanic.

In this episode of Nuts About Thrust, Travis shares why he chose to pursue his A&P certification, what it was like moving away from his family, how he balanced school and work, and how he passed his exams on the first try. He also talks about working on the ramp for United Airlines, preparing for his next career step, and why he believes anyone thinking about aviation maintenance should “take the leap.”

If you’re considering a career change, aircraft mechanic school, or wondering what life is really like as an A&P student, this conversation is for you.
