Years in Service: Eighteen months. Why joined: The Air Force allows me to travel often, and allows endless success and progress are opportunities. Family: Parents, George and Cathy; and sister, Melissa. Hobbies: I enjoy martial arts, cross-fit and anything that gets me out of the house. Favorite aspect of job: I enjoy working with people from so many different backgrounds and never doing the same thing two days in a row. Plus, I love waking up every morning and putting on the uniform. Most memorable Air Force experience: I was walking in the Atlanta airport in uniform and a little boy came up to me to shake my hand and said "thank you." I was so surprised that I just smiled and said "it's my pleasure." How do you make responsible choices: Growing up I didn't always make the most responsible choices. More times than not, the result of those choices landed me in situations I didn't want to be in. So my past experiences and hard learned lessons are what shape my responsible choices today.
