Why is serving in the Air Force important to you?
Serving in the Air Force is important to me because I wanted to become something greater then myself, as well as protect the people closest to me.

What moment or accomplishment as a Warrior of the North are you most proud of and why?
The moment I am most proud of as a Warrior of the North is seeing the Logistics Readiness Squadron take first place overall at the 2015 Winter Bash because it showed teamwork and fellowship that we have in LRS.

What is your favorite part of your job?
My favorite part about my job would have to be the never-ending experiences it gives me.  Vehicles are constantly changing so there is always something new and exciting to learn.

How do you apply the wing commander's principles of 'passion, proficiency and professionalism?
I use the three "P's" on a day-to-day basis.  Passion; I am always eager to learn more about my job. Proficiency; I never give up on something even after making mistakes. Professionalism; I keep my professional appearance and attitude at all times.

Who or what inspires you and why?
Senior Master Sgt. David Jackson, 319th Logistics Readiness Squadron vehicle management flight chief, inspires me to be myself as well as strive to be a better leader.

What's the first thing that made you think Grand Forks Air Force Base was a cool place other than the temperature or weather?
The people at Grand Forks Air Force Base definitely make this place a "cool" place. It's the attitudes of those around me that helps forget just how cold it is outside.
