Stanley Rhodes
Lead Avionics Technician, AVEX Aviation
Stanley Rhodes is a lead avionics technician for
AVEX Aviation in Broomfield, Colorado. His story
is perhaps best described as one of hard work,
determination and old-fashioned grit.
Born in Ventura, California, and raised by his father,
Rhodes' love for everything mechanical came
from his dad. In high school, Rhodes learned to
weld and fabricate. He had an internship at the
local Chevrolet dealer doing front-end service,
then moved to body work and paint/detail. He
began restoring his own car and focused his
career on classic car restoration. When the shop
he was working for fell on hard times, Rhodes fell
into aviation, accepting a job detailing aircraft at
AVEX in Camarillo, California, which specializes on
Daher TBM sales, maintenance and parts.
" I just happened to love the type of work that was
done in aviation, mostly for the quality, " he said.
Rhodes put in long hours, shadowed experienced
technicians and participated in the company's
training program, which is a 12-time FAA Diamond
Award recipient. Rhodes said he appreciated joining
a company that had high standards.
" Feeling content with the work that I did and having
pride in the quality of service and maintenance we
provide that's the most important thing to me. "
With on-the-job training and a can-do attitude,
Rhodes became an avionics technician known in
the shop as the " jack of all trades. " When AVEX
opened a second shop, Rhodes, volunteered to
move, seeing it as a great opportunity.
According to AVEX director of maintenance Bob
O'Connor, Rhodes, today an avionics lead technician,
is a true " shop class success story, " proving
that with hard work and a positive attitude, anything
is possible.
