Andy has enjoyed a career in general aviation for over three decades. In 1991, he earned his Airframe and Powerplant license through Teterboro School of Aeronautics, and in 2007, he acquired his FCC General Radio Operators License with the radar endorsement. Andy began his avionics career in 1998 performing flight line avionics maintenance on the U.S. Air Force’s bomber, the B-2 Spirit. Ever since his discharge, he’s been maintaining general aviation avionics. He first joined the Columbia team when the company purchased the KBHB location in Ellsworth, Maine in the summer of 2004.  Eight years ago, Andy relocated to Groton and has continued to be a well-respected and valued part of the Columbia team. 

“Andy has been a great addition to our team and comes with the experience and knowledge to be successful in his new position.” Says, Chris Bergman, Director of Avionics.

Andy is looking forward to his new role here, and we believe the customers will benefit from and appreciate both the positive attitude and depth of knowledge he brings to his new role.
