I designed a lot of the functional tests as well as a lot of the systems that go into the RJs that everybody flies in.
The RJ200, the 700, and 900.
They were actually called the Continental before Delta and American got a hold of them.
And then 9-11 happened and
we all kind of got displaced.
Nobody's buying jets.
And so a lot of the engineers had to leave.
And, you know, then I decided, you know, I went to Raytheon, Cessna, everybody just kept laying off.
And finally I decided it's just time to go back home to Ohio because that was, you know, I was all over the United States and Canada and came back home.
It just got, I just decided to get into sales just as a kind of a time waster.
and then of course from there you know decided hey this is i can make more money in sales than i can as aerospace engineer yeah yeah that's really interesting so how did the skill sets translate
It was a little difficult.
Now, you know, for me, when I was at Learjet, I was the one that went and did all the test rides with the sales team because the sales guys couldn't do check rides with buyers unless an engineer is with them.
And the engineers hated doing it.
I loved it.
And so I kind of got a love for sales during my time as an engineer.
And I used a lot of what I learned from that going into sales.
So I was an engineer.
It was a little over four and a half years.
Okay.
