My name is James Garner. I am an A&P, I.A, and a Certified Repair Station.

My history in aviation; I became a pilot in 1973, lost an engine in the dark in 1983, barley survived that and soon after recieved my A&P, and then my I.A.  While I was acheiving these I operated a construction business in Washington, DC, and it suburbs.

Moved from Maryland to Payson, Arizona in 2000 purchased an existing aircraft fueling lease and built an aircraft maintenance business, (Against The Wind). Sold that business in 2015 and moved to Chandler.
