Why is serving in the Air Force important to you?

Serving in the Air Force is important to me because I wanted to give back to the country what it has given me and every other American--the ability to live in a free country!

What moment or accomplishment as a Warrior of the North are you most proud of and why?

I wouldn't say there is a single accomplishment that I am most proud of; there have been many moments in my career where I have felt greatly accomplished.

What is your favorite part of your job?

The best aspect of my job is interacting with people around the base and being able to train and explain the importance of our job as operations and training instructors.

Who inspires you and why?

My father would be the one who inspires me the most, he is a wise man and that pretty much sums it up.

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 thing that made me think Grand Forks Air Force Base was a cool place to be stationed was mostly the hunting community.
