About Me & How I Can Help
With my remarkable career spanning 51 years in aviation, I'm a testament to the power of technical discipline and creative passion. Currently serving as a Project Leader at Delta Air Lines, I bring half a century of expertise as an Aircraft Maintenance Technician, holding both an FAA Airframe & Powerplant License and an EASA B1 Ground Engineer License. My commitment to excellence is further evidenced by my Bachelor's degree in Technical Management, earned Summa Cum Laude from DeVry University. When I'm not ensuring safety in the skies or mentoring the next generation of technicians at Atlanta Technical College, I am setting the mood on the saxophone — a dedicated hobbyist musician bringing smooth melodies to restaurants, weddings, private parties, and corporate events throughout the region. Whether leading a complex aviation project or improvising a solo, I approach every endeavor with the same level of mastery and heart. I have also been recognized by Marquis Who's Who for my outstanding aviation career.
Student Testimony
"I wanna take a moment to recognize and thank my saxophone and Aerophone instructor, Raul Toro, for his excellence as a teacher and a mentor. He has pushed me beyond what I thought I was capable of and challenged me to reach new heights as a musician. Raul's music instruction has not only helped me improve my playing, but also given me greater confidence in my ability as a performer. What I especially appreciate is that his guidance goes beyond simply teaching me how to play — he advised me on the electronic equipment and technology I needed to become truly performance ready. Raul, thank you for your patience, your knowledge, your encouragement, and for continually challenging me to get better. I'm grateful to have you as my instructor, and I look forward to seeing just how far you can help me take my music. Thank you for helping me become not just a better player, but a more confident performer."
