US aircraft maintenance business Jet East has added Mark Daniels to its family as Citation product director at the company's Dallas Love Field facility in Texas. Having years of experience in aviation in various capacities, the company says there is no doubt Daniels will make an immediate impact.

Daniels has had an impressive and diverse career in the aviation industry. He began in the military with the United States Marine Corps, where he started as a mechanic and eventually became a helicopter crew chief. After leaving the military, he continued working on helicopters in the National Guard before moving to work on larger aircraft, such as 747s and DC 10s at Dee Howards. He later found himself at Lockheed Martin at the Kelly Airforce Base, where he worked on C-5s. Daniels eventually joined Cessna, where he spent 23 years before becoming the director of maintenance on a Falcon 900EX. As the Citation product director at Jet East, he will use his expertise and skill set to advance the company's growth.

Brian Leitschuck, general manager at the Dallas facility, says; “There is no better feeling than knowing that the Jet East name is being represented by the best that the aviation industry has to offer. Mark's knowledge, coupled with the relationships he has established, make him the perfect candidate for this position.”

Daniels adds: “I'm thrilled to work for Jet East. I believe this is a company that truly values its employees and customers alike. I am devoted to contributing my best to the team and helping the company reach new heights.”

Cory Kolman will be joining the company as the regional sales director, west coast. He will be based in Las Vegas and brings an abundance of expertise with a proven track record of success in sales.

Before finding his way to Jet East, Hamilton had an impressive career spanning multiple areas of the aviation industry.

After his service, Mike transitioned to a civilian career as a maintenance manager for Flight Options, director of maintenance for Great Lakes Aviation, director of logistics for a V-22 Osprey programme, director of maintenance procurement at Travel Management Company and VP of operations for Jet East Trenton. Most recently, he served as a regional sales manager with Constant Aviation.
