AOne Parts Brings New Trader to the Team in Ex-Army Ryen Schultz
AOne Parts & Logistics announces that Ryen Schultz will be joining the global service and support provider as a full-time trader. Schultz will be involved in all aspects of vendor monitoring, including purchasing, allocating assets for clients and stocking purposes, vendor monitoring, tactical and strategic negotiating of agreements, and maintaining vendor relationships.
Schultz has had his feet on the ground and head in the air with aviation since enlisting in the United States Army in 2014 as a CH-47 mechanic. During his time in the military, he was stationed at Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, AK, and Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, GA. His time both in the air and on the ground with the Army has provided him with a solid background and knowledge of aviation.
“I had the good fortune of spending some time with the AOne team during their part-out of Lear 45-207, and it was an experience which was both educational and fun for me to be a part of,” says Schultz. “Watching the team work in handling the parts, categorizing them as well as discussing the application, while seeing where and what the parts did on this fixed-wing aircraft, was an invaluable experience for me.”
Schultz accepted the position of an AOne buyer/trader, anxious to learn and become a member of the business aviation community. “When I first met Ryen, he impressed me with his positive personality and his focus,” says Jack Caloras, managing partner of AOne. “His military background has provided him with the discipline and energy level that we see as key traits for success in his role within our company.”
Schultz had the freedom to move his family wherever he wanted to perform his virtual job, so he and his wife chose Monroe, NC, to raise their family and be in the same state where AOne is headquartered. “My parents instilled a strong work ethic in me, and the Army reinforced this and provided me with skills to help me pursue excellence,” he says.
Family is extremely important to Schultz. He and his wife, Breanna, have two children: Hudson, 3, and Lillian, 2, with a third on the way.
"The AOne trader is integral to the success of our business model, and we are excited to be able to bring Ryen on at this time,” says Caloras. “Although it is a tough time for a small company like ours to make forward moving decisions like this with the ongoing global pandemic, that’s how strongly we feel about adding Ryen to the AOne team!”
