David's Story
Life
Once I graduated from Reed in '98, I enlisted in the US Air Force as a F-16 Tactical Aircraft Maintenance Craftsman (crew chief, mechanic). My career took me all over the world, including stints to the middle east, Korea, and a 3 year tour in Japan. After my first 6 years, I changed jobs and spent about a year as an aerial gunner on an MH-53 special operations helicopter. Flying on the PAVE LOW was by far the most fun I had ever had. But, due to some medical issues, I was forced out of that career field and sent back to being a crew chief.
I spent the last year of my 8 year enlistment fighting with the doctors who didn't want to help me. I was honorably discharged in November of '06.
After the Air Force I came back home to Sparks and eventually got married and had a kid. In 2024 my wife and I separated. Honestly that should have happened years before as we were never right for each other. Now I am starting life over again as the single father of a 13 year old boy who is already almost as tall as I am and a step daughter who is finishing her freshman year at UNR! But, I am learning to find my own happiness again, which hasn't been there for many years.
Workplace
My first job was working for my dad's best friend... He owned an audio production company (they have a studio, and provide and run the audio equipment for concerts and most of the special events around Reno/Sparks). I was on the concert set-up/tear-down crew. It was an awesome job! Full access passes, free concerts, good hard manual labor..... Awesome!
My second job was as the Customer Pick-up/Storeroom clerk at Toys 'r Us. I had a lot of fun working there.
Then I joined the Air Force. My childhood dream... I loved serving our country. I've had some amazing experiences and have been all over the world. Truly an honor. Due to medical issues that I never got treatment for w...Expand for more
hile serving, I separated from service after 8 years.
When I came back home I worked for the School District for a short time, while I tried to figure out what I wanted to do. I went work for the State of Nevada in the Unemployment office, first as a claims examiner, then Adjudicator, eventually promoting to Adjudication Supervisor. After 9 years I left the State to work for Washoe County as an Eligibility Specialist for a supportive housing program in the Social Services department. After being tasked to assist with testing a new software program, I decided I wanted to work on computers, so I began working on a degree in Web Development. After finishing the implementation of the new software program and because I was going to school for it, I got a promotion to be IT in my department, which had just grown and was rebranded into the Human Services Agency. I am now in my 10th year with the County, still as IT for HSA.
Military
I enlisted in the Air Force at the end of '98. After basic training I went to technical school to learn how to be a fighter aircraft mechanic. My career has taken me all over the world. I love serving our country. But, recently I decided it was time for a change in my life. I thought I would give another job a try before I left the service, so I entered retraining to be a special operations helicopter gunner. By far the coolest, most exciting thing I have ever done!!! I would have finished my career being a gunner. I loved it! But, due to some medical problems, I couldn't fly anymore... So they sent me back to my old career field, and then pretty much forgot about me. The doctors didn't want to do anything to help me, so I decided not to reenlist. I was planning on being a lifer and it was the only thing I had wanted to do since I was in the 4th grade, so that was one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make.
