I enlisted in the USAF in 2015 and I’m still currently serving on Active Duty as an Aircraft Structural Maintenance Craftsman. I have deployed twice in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. Many of you probably read that and think oh the Air Force is a 9 to 5! Not in maintenance. As a Fabrication guy I spend many hours drilling, riveting, sanding, etc. I love every minute of it! With that said, there are many stressors that come along with working on aircraft. Thats why I fish! Fishing for me is a way to reset. I spend as much time on the water as I can. I see tournament fishing as a great way to push myself and connect with others. I’ve met so many great people here in South Carolina, I look forward to meeting y’all and can’t wait to see this league blossom into a national scale helping veterans everywhere.
