Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Arnold has built a distinguished career in the Aerospace and Defense Industry, marked by expertise in recruiting and a steadfast commitment to excellence. In his most recent role as a Human Resources Specialist with GKN Aerospace, he is responsible for recruiting qualified candidates for aerospace positions, assessing candidate personality and job fit, placing engineers and professionals in aerospace roles and providing remote human resources support. His reputation as an expert in recruiting is well established, having placed thousands of professionals in aerospace positions throughout his tenure. Mr. Arnold's ability to understand people and match them with the right opportunities has led to lasting impacts on the careers and lives of many engineers and their families.

Before joining GKN Aerospace, Mr. Arnold contributed his talents to many aerospace companies, including Boeing, where he was also a member of Boeing's Elite Networking Group. His tenure at Boeing further solidified his standing within the industry and expanded his professional network among top-tier aerospace professionals. Mr. Arnold also held significant responsibilities at Lockheed Martin, where he continued to refine his skills in talent acquisition and human resources management for one of the world's leading aerospace companies.

From 1984 to 1990 Mr. Arnold served as the vice president of marketing and sales at the Aerospace and Defense Agency. During this period, he achieved what he considers his most notable professional accomplishment, which included securing a top-secret facilities clearance sponsor for the agency. This achievement enabled the agency to apply for all contracts requiring top secret facilities clearance, significantly expanding business opportunities. He was the only individual in the sales department able to accomplish this goal, even surpassing the chief executive officer in this regard.

Earlier, Mr. Arnold operated an antique restoration and sales business on Antique Row in Newport Beach, California, for five years, beginning in 1971. This venture demonstrated his versatility and resourcefulness during a period when stable employment was difficult to secure due to discrimination faced by Viet Nam Veterans. From 1970 to 1972, Mr. Arnold worked as a mail carrier for the U.S. Postal Service in Corona Del Mar, California, providing reliable service while seeking opportunities aligned with his passion for aviation.

Mr. Arnold's professional journey began with service as an avionics technician and hydraulics specialist in the U.S. Marine Corps between 1965 and 1971.

Beyond his professional pursuits, Mr. Arnold is civically engaged as a volunteer at St. Mary's Church in Michigan. Most notably, he participates in the men's prayer breakfast every other weekend.

Mr. Arnold attributes much of his success to an unwavering work ethic instilled by his father from childhood, a discipline that carried through military service and into every subsequent role. Known for dedicating long hours to his work, his work ethic has set him apart from his peers. With no plans to retire, Mr. Arnold intends to return to work at an aerospace facility upon relocating back to California from Michigan, where he currently resides, so that he may continue placing people in aerospace positions, a pursuit he finds deeply rewarding.
