Bio
I'm a retired clinical social worker (MSW) and worked in private practice, agency and hospital settings. Started as a Police Explorer at age 15, later working in various law enforcement roles serving my community. It was there I found out about Civil Air Patrol and became a cadet commander, also serving my state's Defence Force (Army) also as a cadet commander. I love helping others, always!
Military Experiences
Sep 1985 - Jun 1992
Aeromedical Evacuation Technician
I joined the Air National Guard in MN and later WV before becoming an Air Force reservist at Andrews AFB in Washington, DC. I was injured LOD in a training accident March 1988 (a safety briefing of all things). After 30 years of appeals I finally got to 100% SC in June 2020. Still loved serving and would do it again in a heartbeat!
