Why is serving in the Air Force important to you?
It's all about the people. This nation wouldn't be what it is if it wasn't for all the service members and support from the civilians and family.

What moment or accomplishment as a Warrior of the North are you most proud of and why?
Surviving the winters of the north. A lot of others can probably say this is the coldest place they have ever been and can wear shorts and a T-shirt in 20 degree weather and be just fine.

What is your favorite part of your job?
My favorite part of my job is taking care of people.

Who inspires you and why?
My supervisor Senior Airman Young inspires me because he helps me make smart decisions.

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 first thing that made you think Grand Forks Air Force Base was a cool place has to be the people who make this place warm.
