His passion to be successful and his dedication to National Flight Services employees is creating an exciting environment within NFS facilities. After years of quality workmanship and expertise in the TPE331 turboprop engine business National Flight Services has built a large and loyal customer base who are looking for other services. This is the mission NFS wants to take, while adding to the already extensive capabilities list. Prior to ownership as manager of the Helicopter Division for NFS, Herb started from scratch and built a formidable business with helicopter repair in less than two years.
