I was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, IL where I attended Rolling Meadows High School (Class of 2001).  After high school, I spent 4 years as a touring musician before joining the US Air Force in 2005. I started my career at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA as a Security Forces Specialist where I was empowered with base security, law enforcement duties and air base defense.  In 2007, I attended the Phoenix RAVEN school where I was trained as a close-sentry security team leader to travel with air mobility assets to austere locations to provide security to the aircraft and it's crew.  In 2016, while in the Air Force Reserve, I transferred to Minneapolis-St. Paul Air Reserve Station, MN and became a First Sergeant.  In that role, I was charged with the health, morale and wellness of over 150 aircrew members and their families, as well as being an advisor to the commander.
In 2021, I attended Officer Training School and shortly after earned my wings as a combat systems officer, more specifically as a navigator on the C-130 Hercules aircraft, which I am currently still active in. 
I started my path of being an AFJROTC instructor in 2024 with the main purpose of wanting to help our youth navigate through their teenage years, and help them onto a path of being efficient and effective members of our community.
