I resigned my position at Penn-Tex Aerospace for personal family reasons in late September of 2002. I was offered an opportunity to work for Morgan Stanley, DW, Inc. as a financial advisor in early 2003. I have not included this experience because I do not feel it is relevant to my Aerospace career. After the position with Morgan Stanley, DW, Inc.; I went back to school full time to earn all my pilot licenses/certificates to allow me to be a flight instructor.
