A Word from Our Founder
“I started GenFams because I saw a need. I’ve worked in aviation maintenance for over 15 years. I know the challenges. I know the gaps. And I know that good training makes the difference between a safe aircraft and an unsafe one. GenFams is my way of giving back – of making the kind of training I wish I’d had available when I was starting out. We’re not just building courses. We’re building the future of aviation training.”
– Christopher Lescoe, Owner/CEO, GenFams Ltd.
We work with the FAA and Washington legislatures on a continuous basis, providing industry-relevant and accepted training to a diverse audience of industry professionals. We actively participate in workforce development initiatives, support military-to-civilian transition programs, and advocate for policies that strengthen the aviation maintenance workforce.
We are always looking for new partners. If you are an MRO, airline, government agency, or training organization interested in licensing our content or integrating our LMS into your programs, we would love to talk.
