Career Goals
I want to be a Chief Master Sergeant. I strongly believe that everything rises and falls on leadership. Knowing that your leadership will support you is a huge part of success. I have my sights set on being the best leader I can be at every level and providing value to all my peers and subordinates alike.
What do you like about working at the 445th?
Our leadership from the top down are the best that I have ever seen or worked for. Our career field has a core level of comradery where it just feels natural for your fellow wingmen become family. To sum up what I love about working at the 445th in two words--the people.
Why did you join the Air Force?
I was in a near death hit and run vehicle accident in 2003 that changed my perspective in many areas of life. I wanted to serve our country and be a part of a greater good, specifically in the law enforcement/first responder field. Because I had to have a metal plate in my arm it took quite a while time wise and some perseverance on mine and my recruiters behalf. I was able to enlist at 25 and it was the best decision I have ever made.
