Mark Inabinet - Ground Vehicle Maintenance Manager

Mark was born in Orangeburg, SC in 1955. Raised on a farm growing crops and raising cattle, during his early teenage years he started learning about maintenance and repairs to farm equipment and vehicles. When he was 15, the tractor needed to be overhauled so we took it to the local mechanic for the repairs. The mechanic, Jake Zeigler allowed him to be his apprentice. When he entered high school, he decided to be a mechanic and attended automotive trade in the vocational school. After graduating from high school, he attended Midlands Technical college and continued studying automotive repairs. After graduating from Midlands Technical College for the next 35 years he worked different mechanical positions to include 3 years as a machinist at NAPA, until he had to medically retire in 2015. During the next few years, he spent time performing much needed repairs to his home and the church that he attended.

In early 2019, his former Pastor introduced him to Celebrate Freedom Foundation. This has given him the opportunity work on our ground vehicles and work on aircraft. He is also a team member of the STEM Education Outreach Program. We are excited to have Mark on board with our team
