Why do you serve?
I serve the military in a dual capacity, as a reservist and a civilian. I've been a reservist for 20 years, six in the Army Reserve and 14 in the Air Force Reserve. I joined the military because I needed the discipline and I wanted to prove I was capable. Serving the miltary as a civilian was a natural transition for me.

What's been your favorite assignement/TDY and why?
I did a six month deployment to Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait as a communication project manager handling major construction. My job was to plan, coordinate, and manage the subject matter experts in bringing communications into newly constructed buildings. I enjoyed brining the teams together, executing the plan and finally seeing users working.
