This skill set, combined with his passion for general aviation and himself being a two-time homebuilder, will help further advance CubCrafters in the aviation industry. I’m excited to have him strengthen our team.”

Randy Lervold added, “CubCrafters has an excellent foundation on which to build, the company’s reputation and products are both key strengths and are truly state-of-the-art. The mission for the next few years is to leverage these strengths to take the company to the next level. That level is not just increased sales but production efficiency, continued product innovation, and continued best-in-class service in every sense. Having assembled two kit aircraft, I am especially impressed with the quality of the products that are produced here.
