My name is Dan and I am a full-time A&P certificated mechanic serving with Harvest Aviation, an aviation mission in Central Florida. I am also part of the youth programs, engaging teens in missions and mentorship programs using aviation as a resource.

Each full time member of staff has to raise their own income through donations. These come from individuals, businesses and churches. Basically I work for free doing something I love and help people at the same time! I think thats a pretty good combination!
