An inspiring conversation with Lee Kapel, CEO & President of TSI Aviation Inc.

"To achieve success, you need to have respect for yourself and a passion for what you are doing."

Lee Kapel, CEO & President of TSI Aviation Inc., believes this with her heart and soul, and her faith in those two things has allowed her to achieve her goal of running an incredible woman-owned small business.

Born in Cuba, Kapel came to America at the age of two. Her father was an auto mechanic, and from a very early age, he taught her to keep her ears tuned to what was going on with their car. That nurturing led her to a love of mechanical engineering and eventually to the aviation business, where she now provides parts and services for military and commercial airlines.
