Why is serving in the Air Force important to you?
Me serving in the military and being able to bring the Air Force story to my home town is what makes the Air Force important to me.

What moment or accomplishment as a Warrior of the North are you most proud of and why?
The moment that I am most proud of as a Warrior of the North is when I finally achieved my CCAF degree and started a bachelor's degree program in human resource management.

What is your favorite part of your job?
My favorite part of my job is my ability to manufacture and design aircraft parts or special tools out of a solid block of metal without a blueprint drawing.

Who inspires you and why?
I am inspired by my old supervisor (Master Sgt. Retired Duffiled). There was no job too big or too complicated that he could not accomplish. The work mentally that he possessed wore off on me which empowered me to believe there is no job that I can't do.

What was the first thing that made you think Grand Forks Air Force Base was a cool place other than the temperature or weather?
I thought Grand Forks was pretty cool because of the people as well as the different events like summer and winter bash that builds camaraderie and teamwork among various individuals from different squadrons.
