What do you like about working at the 445th?
It has been a challenging and satisfying job. The C-5 was one of the most technically demanding for heavy maintenance in the Air Force inventory. Converting to the C-17 has
been also a challenge because of the newer technology and inspection requirements.
I have enjoyed the conversion and bringing a new capacity and processes to the HSC flight and the challenges my current supervision has given me.

Why did you join the Air Force?
I joined the Air Force for the adventure of traveling around the world and working on aircraft. Since joining, I have met some of the most amazing, motivated,  and dedicated people and friends. It's been an honor to serve.
