What you like about working at the 445th?: The 445th is located in my hometown, so it is always nice to work in the place I grew up and being able to recommend what this city has to offer to all of my fellow airmen who travel here from other places. This base is deeply rooted with history and I am proud to serve in the birthplace of aviation.
Why did you join the Air Force?: I was surrounded by military in my family so it was always something that interest me. My grandfather was my biggest inspiration, although he recommended the Navy. I joined the Air Force to be a part of a global community and to take that next adventure. When I was 21, my flight to basic training was the first time I flew on a plane. The Air Force has exposed me to more opportunities than I could have imagined.
