Columbia Air Services, Inc is pleased to announce Devon Young as its new Service Manager at KGON.  Devon’s has been in aviation for nine years, including the last 3.5 years at Columbia working as an A&P technician and crew chief. Devon’s hands-on maintenance expertise and operational insight made his promotion to Service Manager a natural progression.

Adam Stino, Director of Maintenance, has this to say regarding Devon’s new appointment;

 “When we committed to our expansion project at MRB, I knew I was losing my Service Manager, Andrew Benoff to lead that project. Having a quality candidate for such an import role as Service Manager here at GONwas a necessity. Luckily for me, I did not even have to think about it. I also didn’t have to look far. I knew who I needed, and who had the knowledge, talent, and leadership skills to jump right in. Devon was the clear choice. He totes nearly 4 years’ experience and goes on the books as the earliest tech to achieve inspection status that our shop has seen. Devon clearly has natural mechanical talent. Now it’s time for Devon to hone those management skills and help me run this incredibly fast passed shop in Groton. I can’t wait to see him grow in his new position.”

Devon is well-positioned to support the company’s commitment to exceptional Daher TBM and Kodiak factory authorized maintenance services.  We look forward to his continued success in all his endeavors.
