"My journey into occupational health programs was not easy and was sometimes very painful. As a young Airman and an aircraft mechanic, I was exposed to many different hazards, falling prey to many. I learned that occupational safety and health were vital early in my career if I wanted to be around for my family. After retirement, I gained an education and grew to love working in safety as an Air Force civil servant. Earning a degree in Occupational Safety and Health gave me the credibility to help others so that they could go home after work to their loved ones. I am currently working toward a doctorate degree as a member of the occupational injury prevention research team. Building upon my military experience, knowledge, discipline, and skill to help others on a greater level is one of my noblest ideals."
