Unit/Job: 628th Civil Engineer Squadron, Natural and Cultural Resources Program manager
Age: 47
Married? No

Pets: Yes. A chocolate Labrador named Jessie.
Favorite Activity: Hunting - deer hunting, turkey hunting. Also, four-wheeling. Anything outdoors really. I also do some woodworking on things like cabinets and shelving. Another hobby I have is to plant a garden every year - that's been my big thing. My favorite thing to grow is probably zucchini and yellow squash.
Favorite place to eat in town: I like everything, but probably Ruby Tuesday. They have a good salad bar.
What is one thing you are proud to have accomplished while at Joint Base Charleston? I've worked in the environmental office now for 15 years, so that's probably it. I previously worked on Navy nuclear stuff, but environmental is my favorite. It goes right in line with things I like to do, which is being outdoors and being in the natural environment.
If you were the Secretary of the Air Force for one day, what would you do? I don't know where I'd begin - the Air Force is a great service to work for, so I don't think I'd make too many changes.
