Erik's Story
I joined the US Air Force 2 weeks after graduation and spent the first 6 months of my military career in Texas (Basic Training, Technical Training (Aircraft Maintenance Specialist)). I ended up being stationed at McClellan AFB in Sacramento Calif. as my first Duty assignment (85-87). I met an married my wife Janelle in 1987 just before getting orders to my second base at Rhein Main AB, W. Germany (87-91) Interesting side note while in Germany; I ran into Megan and Ann O'Brien on a bus in 89 while visiting the Neuschwanstein castle in Bavaria. No doubt it's a small world (pun intended). After my long tour I headed to Hill AFB Utah (91-95) Both of our sons were born there, Ethan in 91 and Sean in 93. From there we went to Edwards AFB Calif. (95-98) completed an Associate of Applied Science degree in Aviation ...Expand for more
Maintenance Technology while stationed there. After Edwards I became an Air Force Recruiter in Hibbing Minnesota (98-2001). Back to aircraft maintenance in 2001 being stationed at Minot AFB, North Dakota (01-05) I Retired from active duty and have been living here since. Since retirement I worked briefly as a forklift mechanic, and an electrician apprentice (decided I didn't like digging ditches in my 40's so I abandoned that after 1 1/2 years), Catalog Department Supervisor at JCPenney for nearly 6 years until they closed down the catalog desk. After that I got hired as a Territorial Sales Manager/Rental Equipment Manager for Herculift Inc. and I've been doing that since 2013. Other highlights got my private pilots license in 2008 and my wife and I have 2 grandchildren (Chase in 2013 and Courtney in 2017).
