Aviator’s Garage
Welcome to the channel. I’m a 43-year-old husband, dad, and lifelong learner sharing what’s worked for me in life—from staying in shape to saving money, and everything in between.
With a background in the military, law enforcement, and aviation, I’ve learned a lot about discipline, efficiency, and how to adapt. I created this channel to pass along things that have helped me and my family—whether that’s smart home hacks, fitness routines, or just ways to stretch a dollar during these inflation-heavy times.
Lifting weights has been a big part of my life for years, and I believe staying in shape is crucial—especially as a parent later in life. I’m no expert mechanic, but I also love working on cars, turning wrenches, and learning something new with every project.
If you’re into fatherhood, fitness, car projects, and real-life advice from someone who’s been through a few things, you’re in the right place.
Let’s build something better—together

🚨 HELP ME DECIDE – YOU PICK THE NEXT PROJECT! 🧰🔥
Alright crew, I’ve hit a crossroads and need YOUR input. My 2018 Toyota Tacoma is paid off and running strong — but I’ve got two wild options on the table, and I can only do one:
🅰️ Option 1: Slap a Magnuson Supercharger on the 2018. It’ll add serious horsepower (kinda) and fun… but it’s $7,500 out of pocket, and honestly, some say that’s a huge waste of money for an aging platform.
🅱️ Option 2: Trade it in and pick up a brand-new 2025 TRD 4x4 Tacoma. New tech, fresh warranty… BUT it comes with sky-high prices, thanks to post-COVID inflation, and yeah — a brand new car payment, which I’d rather avoid.
📸 Swipe to see both options ➡️ Then VOTE in the poll below and let me know in the comments:
💬 Which one would YOU rather see built on the channel?
Let’s build something badass — together.

Hey Guys Checking In - My aviation content is now on @ZeroToCaptain Thank you for your understanding as I figure out my content creation journey! As for this channel @AviatorsGarage the content will be mostly focusing on Cars and Gym Equipment.
Quick Question - What car content would you rather see first?

Hey guys, I’m doing a quick poll to see what you’d rather wanna watch. Would you like to see a car video? Or a piece of workout equipment video?

Hello everyone! I hope I hope all is well. I’ve been getting some great feedback and have decided to make a channel dedicated to aviation content. This way subscribers who are solely interested in aviation content have a one stop shop. The channel is @ZeroToCaptain.
Here is its 1st video:
Joining the #Military to Become a #Pilot #truth
https://youtu.be/r0MwFPbW_ok
I have posted this video on my current channel but it will be the last of the aviation content. You will also see old videos repurposed to the new channel for organizational reasons.
My current channel is a completely random soup. It ranges from product reviews, things that have helped my family and I, fitness equipment, and working on cars. I will keep both channels going but wanted to dedicate aviation information to its own channel. Thank you for your support. Have a great day and fly safe out there!
