USPA Executive Director Jan Hoynacki and Past President Paul Hough recently had an opportunity to tour Garmin International with the grandson of USPA member Micky Pinkston. Scott Smith is the Northeast Regional Sales Rep for Garmin, following in the footsteps of his father Jerry Smith who also is employed by Garmin.
The beautiful Garmin facility in Olathe, KS, was recently expanded to accommodate the company’s increased production, as well as allow for future expansion. Dressed casually (as is the norm it seems these days), everyone we met was bright and energetic, and appeared enthusiastic about their company and products. All working in aviation customer support are pilots and/or instructors.
