What do you like about working at the 445th?
 I like the people, what we do and how we come together to do our part.

Why did you join the Air Force?
I started my first career early in life, when I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. At a point in my life, I realized I wanted a challenge--to be able to make a difference and be held to a higher standard. After talking to family, friends and an encouraging recuiter, I decided the Air Force was for me. It has brought me challenges I would have never thought I could overcome (physically, mentally and emotionally).
