Because so many people that I know are still at home doing the same old things and I didn't want to end up like that. I wanted to do something that had meaning. Plus my brother had a really nice car and he's in the AF so I wanted one! Where do you see yourself in 10 or 20 years? Retired and enjoying life with my beautiful wife, traveling. What do you do for fun here? Lift weights and chill with my boy Dewey Nelson. What's your favorite Air Force memory or story? The day I found out I made Staff. It was such a surreal feeling and one I hope to feel a lot more What accomplishment are you most proud of? As or right now my CCAF because I am not a school kind of guy so doing that was big for me. Hopefully I can keep the ball rolling and go for my Bachelors next Who are your role models? My mot her. She raised three children by herself while working two to three jobs just to get by. I never had a need for anything because she did everything she could to insure we never had to feel that way. I admire her so much for all she has done and still does for me.
