Fly. Fight. Win.

If you’ve never seen the Thunderbirds in person, Frontiers in Flight on 24 & 25 October is worth checking out. It’s a great chance to see the professionalism, precision, and teamwork that the Air Force is known for.

Air shows like this are a good reminder of what makes the Air Force unique — the people, the mission, and the pride behind it all.

If you’re in Salina, McPherson, Hays, or the surrounding area and want to learn more about Air Force opportunities, feel free to reach out.

A big thank you to Hays High School and Thomas More Prep-Marian for hosting the Career and College Planning Conference.

It was a great experience getting to speak with sophomore, junior, and senior students about what comes next after high school and to be part of an event that connected students with colleges and other career opportunities.

I appreciate the opportunity to talk with students about the Air Force and Space Force and how those paths can support goals related to education, technical training, pay, and future career growth. Thank you for making student planning and career exploration a priority.

Hays High School Juniors and Seniors — the Career and College Planning Conference is a chance to start building your future now.

If you are thinking about what comes after graduation, there are a lot of paths to consider. One option many students do not know much about is the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) — a chance to work toward a college education while serving in the Air Force.

At the conference, come talk with me about how the Air Force can help you work toward goals related to paid college, technical training, and career experience. Whether you already have a plan or are still figuring things out, this is a good time to ask questions and explore your options.

Your future does not have to wait until after graduation to start taking shape.

Standards do not stop at the local level — and neither does the mindset behind Air Force Special Warfare.

The Czech National Statehood ruck was a chance to take part in an event tied to an international military tradition while putting endurance, discipline, and follow-through to the test. I completed this 20 km ruck in 3 hours, 59 minutes, reinforcing the kind of grit and consistency that matter in demanding career fields.

Completing the event also came with a commemorative medal and certificate connected to the Day of Czech National Statehood, making it more than just a workout — it was a recognized accomplishment tied to a broader international tradition.

That same mentality connects directly to Air Force Special Warfare: showing up prepared, pushing through discomfort, and meeting a higher standard. For those in Salina, McPherson, Hays, and the surrounding area, if you are looking for a path that demands resilience, discipline, and commitment, Air Force Special Warfare is worth learning more about. Reach out if you want to talk.

Push farther. Hold the standard. Earn it.

Kansas will always be home, and joining the Air Force changed the direction of my life.

When I joined the Air Force, it came down to something simple: I needed a way to support myself and my wife, and minimum wage jobs were not going to get us where we needed to be without wearing me down in the process. In June 2012, I left for Basic Military Training and started down a path that turned into more than I expected.

One thing I learned along the way is that the Air Force can open doors you never saw coming. I never expected that I would one day qualify to work in the ICBM mission, but that experience showed me how far the right opportunity, training, and support can take you.

Now, working with people here in Kansas is one way I can pass along some of what the Air Force gave me — stability, opportunity, and a path forward for my family. If I can help someone better understand their options and make an informed decision, that is time well spent.

If you are from Salina, McPherson, Hays, or the surrounding area and want to learn more about Air Force opportunities, reach out and let’s talk about how you can launch your career.

Last Friday, I participated in the Royal Danish Air Force March alongside members of the U.S. Army — an international ruck event covering 12.4 miles. I had a 29 lb bag, had 790 feet of elevation gain, and finished time of 4 hours.

Completing the march earned a certificate and medal, recognizing the discipline, endurance, and commitment it took to finish strong. That same mindset connects directly to Air Force Special Warfare — pushing through discomfort and staying focused from start to finish.

If you’re in Salina, McPherson, or Hays, KS and want to learn more about Air Force Special Warfare opportunities, send a message and let’s talk.

This is what the first step toward becoming elite looks like.

Huge respect for these students from McPherson High School who came out today to see if they have what it takes for Air Force Special Warfare.

From max pull-ups to gut-check runs, they left it all on the track and in the gym. This isn't for everyone. It's for the 1% who refuse to quit.

Are you next?

Most people look for the easy way out. But elite warriors look for the hill. šŸ”ļøšŸ„¾

A 20 km ruck march isn’t just about putting 35 lbs on your back and walking. It’s a mental battle. By kilometer 5, your shoulders ache. By kilometer 10, your feet are burning. By kilometer 15, your mind is begging you to stop.

But if you want to wear the beret in U.S. Air Force Special Warfare, that mental battle is where you have to thrive.

Whether you are training for Pararescue (PJ), Combat Control (CCT), Tactical Air Control Party (TACP), or Special Reconnaissance (SR), the physical standard is just the baseline. The real test is your mind. When your body wants to quit, do you have the discipline to take the next step?

Special Warfare isn’t for everyone. It’s for the few who look at a grueling challenge and say: "Send me."



⚔ ARE YOU READY TO TEST YOUR LIMITS?
If you are tired of average and want to see what you are truly capable of, the path starts here.

Send me a DM today. Let’s see if you have the physical and mental grit to qualify for Air Force Special Warfare. āš”ļø

From small-town Kansas to the world and back again. āœˆļø

People often ask why I joined the Air Force. For me, the answer starts right here in Kansas. Growing up as an Army kid, I spent time all over, but my roots are in places like Manhattan, Colby, and Turon. After high school, I spent two years in the food industry, making $7.25 an hour and realizing it wasn't enough to build a future or support a family.

I needed a change. I walked into a recruiter's office looking for a stable career and walked out with an opportunity I never thought possible—a chance to work with our nation's most powerful weapon systems.

That single decision launched a journey that has lasted over 14 years. It took me from Basic Training, to tech school at what is now Vandenberg Space Force Base, and then to Minot, North Dakota, for over a decade. In that time, I didn't just have a job; I built a career. I promoted from a hands-on technician to a Security Manager, and eventually to a Maintenance Production Superintendent, leading teams responsible for a critical global mission.

Now, after all that adventure and growth, the Air Force has brought me full circle—right back home to Kansas, to help other young Kansans write their own story.

Your journey might not look exactly like mine, but the opportunity is the same. If you're looking for a path forward, let's talk.
