Where did you serve and what did you do?

I served my country in the US Air Force for 32 years, first as a rescue helicopter Flight Mechanic then as a C-5 Galaxy Flight Engineer. I flew combat missions in Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.

How are you Still Serving?

I am co-founder of Compass Quest Veterans Advocacy Group and Thin Red Line K9s. Our programs are instrumental at helping fellow veterans connect to services and overcome barriers to wellness. I also serve as the VFW Department of Missouri Veteran Employment and Homeless Veterans Committee Chairman.

Why do you do it?

I find purpose in continuing to serve others through our non-profit and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
