The last 15 years he was active as a Rolls-Royce M250-C30 contract field service representative (CFSR) supporting the U.S. Army’s OH-58D helicopter programs at Ft. Bragg, N.C., Ft. Campbell, Ky. and most recently with the Army National Guard Aviation Support Facility No. 3 in Jackson, Tenn. He holds an airframe and powerplant license and an MBA from Bethel University plus Six-Sigma Green Belt certification.
With over 37 years of continuous experience, KTS is the only Rolls-Royce M250 certificated Authorized Maintenance Repair & Overhaul Center (AMROC) located on the east coast of the U.S. for all M250 Series engines, modules, accessories and components.
In addition, KTS is also a Honeywell Authorized Warranty and Repair Station (AWARS) for overhaul, repair and testing of Rolls-Royce M250 plus Honeywell LTS-101 and Pratt & Whitney PT6A and PT6T fuel controls, power turbine governors and related accessories.
