In the 1960s, Joe began rebuilding wrecked airplanes as a hobby. Several years later, he moved to Jackson, TN, with his wife Mary and teenage son Paul to convert the hobby into a full-time business adjacent to McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport. Working with his dad after school and summers, Paul learned the details of structural and engine work that few mechanics have the opportunity to experience. Paul went on to get his college degree in Avionics from Southern Illinois University while working with a commuter airline. After graduation, he became the avionics manager for the airline, and in 1984 moved to an FBO in Kentucky as an avionics manager. In 1986, Paul, his wife Helen, and their three children moved back to Jackson, partnering with Joe and Mary to continue the family aircraft rebuilding business.
