A Passion for Aviation

My love for aviation started in childhood, watching planes at the local airport. What began as a fascination became a career when I earned my A&P license in 2008. After years working at fixed-base operations and maintenance shops, I started Ryno Aerial Services to offer something different: personalized, mobile service that puts the aircraft owner first.

I believe aircraft maintenance should be straightforward and stress-free. When you work with me, you get honest assessments, fair pricing, and work done right. No upselling, no surprises, just quality maintenance from someone who genuinely cares about keeping you safe in the air.

When I am not working on aircraft, you might find me flying my own Cherokee or helping out at local fly-ins. I am part of this community, not just a service provider.

Our Values

What I Stand For

These principles guide every interaction and every job I take on.

Quality Workmanship

Every job is done right the first time. I take pride in thorough, meticulous work that meets or exceeds industry standards.

Clear Communication

You will always know what is happening with your aircraft. I explain findings, options, and costs clearly before any work begins.

Minimized Downtime

Your aircraft sitting on the ground costs you money and missed flying opportunities. I work efficiently to return you to service quickly.

Personal Service

As a solo operator, you work directly with me on every job. No handoffs, no miscommunication, just straightforward service.

Credentials

Training & Certification

Maintaining aircraft safely requires continuous learning. I hold all required FAA certifications and regularly pursue additional training to stay current with evolving technology and best practices.

The Inspection Authorization (IA) allows me to perform and sign off on annual inspections, major repairs, and major alterations. This is the highest level of certification for a general aviation mechanic.
