About
I started life off as a farmer and livestock hand at 13 years old learning work ethic and perseverance. At 17 I enlisted in the Air Force and spent 8 years abroad working on various aircraft from F-16s and A-10s to KC-135s and C-5s. I seperated in 2017 and worked as a sheetmetal tech for AAR in Indianapolis working on planes for Delta and Southwest. I eventually took a job working for my wife's family at Graves Sheetmetal until I was laid off in 2021. I then began working on a career change, I had realized that I was tired of coming home greasy, oily, and smelly everyday and wanted to do something better. Im hoping to find enjoyment in a completely new field and learn more about history.
