Who is the most positive influence in your life and why?
My mother is the most positive influence in my life. She is solely responsible for my values and character.

If you could give advice to a new Airman, what would it be and why?
My advice to new Airmen would be to remain objective, listen to and deliberate your intuition, and use anything and everything to forge who you are. Whether you are here for one year or here for 30, it is simply a small chapter in a much larger story. Make the absolute best of it.

What is one goal that you have already accomplished, or would like to accomplish, during your Air Force career?
The goal I would like to accomplish is to make the rank of master sergeant, and complete 20 years of service.

Where is the most interesting place you have traveled and why do you feel that way?
The most interesting place I've ever been to is Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is a place with drastically different social norms.

If you have the opportunity to meet anyone in the world, who would it be and why?
I would like to have a beer with Jack Nicholson because I have always been curious to know what type of man he really is.
