Why is serving in the Air Force important to you? Serving in the Air Force is important to me because the Air Force took care of my brother in his time of need. It's the least I could do to give back to them and to show how grateful I am he is still here today.

What moment or accomplishment as a member of the Icemen Team are you most proud of and why? The accomplishment as a member of the Icemen Team that I am most proud of is the fact that I got to participate in a Pacific Angel humanitarian mission to Mongolia. I was able to represent the Icemen Team and way of life while partnering with a multinational force and helping people in another country.

What is your favorite part of your job? My favorite part of my job is helping others feel better and getting them back on track to living a happy, healthy life.

What's your favorite part about being in Alaska? Everyone pitches in to help and it creates a family atmosphere that ensures no one is left out in the cold.
