ABOUT
MY MISSION
BE A PJ® is laser focused to prepare the minds and bodies of prospective trainees and instill the virtues necessary to get selected at USAF Special Warfare Assessment and Selection through targeted workout programs.
Who I am
After being in college for two years on a scholarship and not feeling fulfilled, I enlisted in the USAF to be a PJ in 2005. I wanted more out of my life and felt like I was called to give more. I decided to join Pararescue because I love the mission, no matter what... you are going to save lives. My duty stations include 321st Special Tactics Squadron in RAF Mildenhall England, 58th RQS Nellis AFB NV, and 350 Battlefield Airman Training Squadron JBSA Lackland TX. While stationed at JBSA Lackland, I was honored to be the Instructor Supervisor, be able to instill the PJ mentality in the students going through the Pararescue Indoctrination Course, and had the opportunity to re-write the lesson plans for the course in 2018.
Through my targeted coaching, I will utilize my 12+ years of experience as a PJ Team Leader to motivate and inspire you to be a freaking animal. I have deployed 8 times around the globe supporting operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, and multiple countries in Africa and Europe. I hold 2 AS degrees in Military and Instructional Sciences and Personnel recovery, a Bachelor of Science degree, a Master of Physician Assistant Studies, and a Master of Science in Human Performance.
I recently retired from the USAF and I’m now a Board Certified Physician Assistant, living in Utah with my family.
WHY I'M HERE
During my time as an instructor at Pararescue Indoctrination, I have repeatedly found that many trainees with great potential show up unprepared, and ultimately fail Indoc. I would like to ensure that more prospective trainees have access to the right information, targeted guidance/mentorship, and tools to successfully complete USAF Special Warfare Assessment and Selection.
Using my experience as lead instructor/instructor supervisor of Indoc, I aim to impart as much knowledge as possible on prospective USAF Specwar Candidates, providing selection insight you wont find anywhere else. Lastly I will use my 12+ years experience as a PJ Team Leader to motivate and inspire you. At the end of my workouts you will have confidence in your physical abilities, knowing you exceed the standards before you even get to A&S, provided you put in the hard work and follow my guidance to a T.
