What do you do on a daily basis at Fairchild Air Force Base? I manage all inbound and outbound air cargo shipments and manage the space available travel program.

What do you enjoy about your job? What I enjoy most about my job is loading aircraft. You get a real sense of accomplishment when you can watch a jet that you just loaded with vital cargo take off from Fairchild Air Force Base.

Why did you choose to serve in the military? I knew before graduating high school that I wasn't ready for college so I decided to contact my recruiter.

What goals do you want to achieve or meet while at Fairchild Air Force Base? To earn a bachelors degree and continue to gain proficiency in my career field.

What is your favorite quote? "When you point your finger at someone, always remember there are three more pointing back at you."

Who is your favorite mentor and what did you learn from him/her? Chief Master Sergeant Donald Cyprain. I served with him in Iraq, 2010. He was always there no matter what. I learned from him to always take care of your subordinates no matter what the circumstances are.

If you could spend one hour with any person, who would it be and why? Any president, past or present. I would like to pick their brain and try to get an understanding for how much stress they actually go through.
