Currently, the Chapter represents Arizona, Nevada, California, Hawaii, American Trust Islands in the South Pacific, the Baja Norte/Sur - Sonora regions of Mexico, and the countries of Australia and New Zealand.

When did you join SWAAAE and what motivated you to do so?

I became a member of the chapter at the start of 2024, right before the winter gathering in Monterey. Terracon has had a longstanding association with SWAAAE, and I had heard excellent things about the professionals affiliated with the chapter. Joining SWAAAE presented a fantastic opportunity to engage more deeply with the professional aviation community.
