Summary
During my time in the Air Force, I demonstrated professionalism, technical acumen, and a steadfast commitment to the Department of the Air Force. I was instrumental in the execution of over 49 contract actions valued over $7 million dollars, directly supporting the KC-46, C-17, and KC-135 training missions at the 97th Air Mobility Wing (AMW).
I worked on the Maintain/Repaint Taxiways, OSS “weather radios”, E-1000 Laser Repair, multiple roofing projects, and many many more commercial, service, and construction projects. I was also involved in the standup of Ebbing Air National Guard Base, ensuring a $1B Formal training unit is prepared to train 7 National Alliance Treaty Organization (NATO) countries in Air Tactic Synchronization techniques; increasing Air-to-Air combat readiness in preparation for international conflicts and strengthening multinational relationships directly supporting other Secretary of the Air Force’s #1 priority to deter and prevent great power conflict.
During my service I performed above standards earning the Airman of the Quarter Award for the 97th Contracting Flight, 97th Air Mobility Wing Dorm of the Quarter Award, Meritorious Unit Award, Air and Space Outstanding Unit Award, Air Force Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Medal, and the Air and Space Training Ribbon.
During that time in Oklahoma I dedicated myself to the core values of the Air Force; Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do.
