2021 LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT JIM GAMMON

摘要

The company that bears the family name began in 1960, when Howard Gammon,Jim's father, quit his job as chief engineer at Purolator Filters. "He built our company from nothing in our garage and basement," Gammon recalls, noting he started working part-time for his father around the age of 12. "Dad took it upon himself to be my professor and did so until 2018, when he passed away at 95," Gammon continues. "I have nothing but respect for my dad. He is my hero." Early on, Gammon loved the aviation industry and found it interesting. He found work as a teenager at Central Jersey Regional Airport - known then as Kupper Airport, near New Brunswick, NJ.
