Jonathan "FlyBoyJon" Wanzer is a 40 something, happily married, father of one, living in the Silicon Valley, where he grew up. A Commercial pilot with Instrument rating, a Ground Instructor with Advanced and Instrument ratings, and an Airframe Mechanic currently working on his Powerplant rating at Gavilan College, he flies, restores, and maintains single engine piston aircraft.

I have been tool junkie as long as I can remember. In a previous vocation I worked for a factory authorized repair center (we represented many brands) as a tool repair tech/mechanic and later managed the shop. I also worked worked for a manufacturers repair center.

Even though I am well versed in a wide range of power tools, I prefer the quiet of a hand tool shop. I like being able to put on some music and dive in for the day. This is one of the great things about restoring vintage aircraft, it's that same hand tool shop environment until its time for run-up and that's fun too.
