I joined the army right out of high school & did 6 years (3 yrs as a paratrooper). Then I joined the Air Force and did 16 more as a Fighter Crew Chief on F-15s. I deployed to Haiti, Afghanistan, UAE, and Qatar. I also served in Italy (3 years) & Korea (1 year). After retiring from the AF, I got a masters in social work and then worked in Emergency Services as a mental health counselor for 3 years. Along the way I’ve started 3 small businesses – two in landscaping and one buying & selling vintage tools. I’m currently operating two of those businesses. I even have a (very) small YouTube channel for the tool biz. Now I’m an old boring dad & my kids couldn’t care less about any of their dad’s former lives – so it’s up to you to AMA!
Thanks to everyone for their questions!

I’d love to have a beer with you, talking with interesting people in the right setting is one of my favourite things ever.
My grandmother was a social worker until she retired late. I’d ask about your military past a bit but not much, more about business experiences and projects you’ve worked on.
I don’t really feel like asking anything on here but I wish I had the chance to talk for an hour.
