After school, I became a full-time tecnician (Wear uniform everyday just like active duty) with the Texas Air National Guard where I would do various duties and travel to far away places. I left the TANG in 1998 and took another full time technican job with the Michigan Air National Guard in Battle Creek.

I have been married now for almost 18 years and have 3 children. I am currently living in Alma, Michigan.
