About Craig McKennon

I love challenging learning opportunities and working with people who appreciate life as I do. My base of technical and relational skills, gained from work experience and a UCLA engineering education, fueled my success as a structural design intern in the Aerospace sector and helped ease me into success in my mechanical and project engineering positions in the Oil and Gas industry.
