After graduation I stayed in the local area for about a year and worked at Raynor. I had fun and met nice people, but I knew I needed to go and start something new.

I joined the Air Force in June of 2000. I have been flying for a little over 8 years on several different planes doing computers and communications, but the highlight so far has been being on the crew of Air Force One. I was just recently selected into pilot training and will be moving to Texas this fall to embark on a 2 year training program.

I graduated from National Louis University with a degree in Management Information Systems. I plan on getting my masters after I finish pilot training.

I married Kristin in 2003. We have a little girl named Avery. We are expecting our second child in May or June of 2009.

Life has been extremely good to me since high school, but it is hard to believe it has almost been ten years.

I look back now and realize I was a jerk to most people in our class. I wish I could take back anything mean I said or did.

High School was a lot of fun otherwise. Most of my favorite memories revolve around homecoming week, parties, or driving Mrs Bates crazy. Getting suspended our senior year for breaking into the school also tops the list of fun times.
