Ed Satterley
Ed joined the TAM team in early September of 2011 as the "Admin Guy" but officially, he signed on as the "Maintenance Coordinator". He has plenty of administrative experience in past employments which help him adapt to the rigors of keeping aircraft maintenance records precise and accurate.

He hopes to work on improving TAM's presence in Eastern North Carolina as he helps keep aircraft maintenance on track.
