undefinedExploring the Outdoors, Firearms, History, and Aviation
I was raised in a structured setting that started out in Boy Scouts. I achieved the rank of "Eagle Scout" and grew to love the outdoors. My time in scouting mixed with my time in the military truly built up my passion for Firearms, History, and Aviation. My Grandfather was a DC-3 pilot so I was raised around aircraft. Being in the Air Force elevated my passion for Aircraft that much further as I worked on different platforms such as the A-10, C-130, HH-60, F-16, F-15, and F-35.
