OTT: What's your day job? (10-7-2025)

[Brian74]

Helicopter (military) maintenance functional check pilot. I get to go be the first one to fly the aircraft after they are completely taken apart and put back together. Also an instructor and train other maintenance pilots on my airframe, and perform occasional electrical and mechanical troubleshooting. Have dabbled self-taught a fair amount in computers and designed a few databases; one I built was used at unit level throughout the entire Army aviation branch. Over a decade of previous experience working in a machine & auto repair shop with specialty in electrical. My Goblin build got me into CAD, sheet metal fab, and large scale 3D printing, so I also now run a small side business doing CAD and 3D prototyping. Will likely retire in the next 5 years with close to 30 years of military service.

My day and night job is Plumbing and Heating. Been in the Plumbing and Heating industry for 20 years. I got into wrenching in high school when the JDM civic bug bit me.

After that I got into motorcycles/ATV and hitting the track.

I love hitting the track on motorcycles. No better feeling than dragging a knee

I have been a Mopar tech since around 2010. I've built tons of engines and diagnosed electrical concerns and drivability issues. So stepping up to the plate on this was not that daunting. I love the looks and questions I get about the Goblin. I'm often asked if I built it and I cannot lie and say that no, I bought one that was already completed. I've added my own style or flare, whatever you want to call it, but briann1177 was the one who did a fantastic job of this build. Thanks again!
