Bio
William Hetrick Jr., MSA
I have had the privilege to serve alongside Josh for the last three years, and have seen him exceed expectations at every billet he has held as a Maintenance Officer. Immediately upon reporting to the command, his leadership and in-depth knowledge of material management were key to increasing the Support Equipment Ready-for-Issue rate from below the fleet average to 91%. His innovation and ability to plan aviation logistical support across nine different rotary and fixed-winged aircraft is second to none. He embraces the importance of leadership development and mentoring those around him; leading to a significant increase in personal and professional growth, and an increase in numerous critical skill sets for over 600 maintenance personnel. As a project manager, he has been instrumental in the successful execution and completion of numerous milestones that led to the relocation and/or transition of three new rotary and fixed-winged platforms and their supporting assets. Josh is a true aviation professional, whose leadership and passion would be invaluable to any organization that adds him to their team.

It's rare that you come across a standout talent like Josh. In the 3 years that we worked together, I was directly exposed to his ridiculously efficient leadership style; his concise communication and results-oriented teamwork combined with the innate ability to showcase the strengths of his employees is truly inspiring. In a complex, technical aviation environment, Josh has the ability to cut through the noise and deliver crisp, laconic solutions. His people-first approach endears him to superiors, peers, and employees alike. I would actively seek to work with Josh again in the future, and highly recommend him as an asset to your organization.
