Mason Norwood

Having served 5 years in the Marine Corps as an F-18 Airframes Mechanic, I am very well versed in the art of working and thriving under pressure whether it is installing a component on a turning jet or just taking a hydraulic fluid sample with an inspector over my shoulder. I am also extremely comfortable working with others both over and under myself, having been both a Private First Class running around with the portable hydraulic fluid system, and a Corporal in charge of an entire shift of Marines with 5 jets that need to be fixed by the end of the night if we want to go home.
