Jason's Story
College
Started Purdue in the fall of 1989 Majoring in Aviation Technology, Maintenance, and also started my career there in Cary Quad as a Waiter,a WCIT and a Captain by the time I graduated. I worked in SE Kitchen and lived in Room 324 in Cary Southeast next to the stairwell and bathroom. I spent many hours in the Kitchen and really enjoyed the job except for a few incidents that occured thoughout the years. After my freshman year I moved up to Ross Ade apts, later known as Hilltop apts. I spent many hours at the airport and St. Toms were I went to study, worship and be with friends.
In Dec, 1993 I graduated and headed back home. I then took a part time job as a CS agent for Comair. In Nov. I transfered to Northern Ky. to work as a Mechanic for Comai...Expand for more
r. In 1995 I married Abby Ballard a Hanover College grad who also happens to be from my home town. In 1996 I bid into the Composite repair shop that was later combined with the Sheet metal shop forming the structures shop. I know Profs, Ray Thompson, Bill Watkins and Doug Latia would be glad to know I have had to put much of what they taught me into use everyday doing composite and sheetmetal repairs and NDT. I have recently bid into a new position, the Nacelle Shop but the work is the same although more routine.
In 2002 My wife, Abby (Charlestown High 1991), gave birth to our first child, Evanne and in 2006 Mikala was born.
Abby and I currently live in Indiana near Lawrenceburg and Cincinnati. We make many trips to C-town to visit family and friends.
