What you like about working at the 445th?
I can say that the 445 AES has pushed me to be a more patient, caring, and driven person. There are so many ways to contribute and make a difference it's hard not to appreciate what people do on a daily basis.

Why did you join the Air Force?
I joined after a few years of thinking about what I could do to help my fellow man. I wanted to be part of an atmosphere that promoted selflessness and community. I looked at various avenues and I've found the Air Force and I've been part of it in some capacity since 2008.
