I have an entrepreneurial spirit that drives me and a mind that never stops going. I spend every day striving to build my company (A & V Rebuilding) to be the best in the industry. I take great pride in everything I do and make sure that every piece of equipment that leaves my shop meets my high standards.

My biggest hurdle thus far, is getting Airlines and Ground Handlers to see the value in A & V’s “FleetRenu” Zero-Timed equipment. Our products truly are as good as their new counterparts, I guarantee it!
