I am a Career Enlisted Aviator in the AirForce. I did 7 years on the KC-135 as a Boom and then in 2005 the AF decided I'd be better off as an FE and made the decision for me that I was cross training. Went to Travis on C-5's until 2015 and then I flowed over to the KC-10. I have my Instrument rating and about 650 hrs TT. Aviation is my passion so right now I'm focusing on getting myself set up for a career after I retire. With my current totals, my FE time, and what I'll log doing my multi/comm I'm not too awfully far from the magical number. Currently deployed for the....I've lost count of which one this is and looking to do something different.

My passion in civilian flying is low and slow bush flying. I have a purpose built experimental STOL plane with big tires. There is nothing better than camping and flying at the same time! If you've never flown into the Frank Church Wilderness in Backcountry Idaho I highly recommend it (after proper instruction of course)
