I was raised on a farm and ranch in Central Washington. I left the ranch when I was about 20 and went into the Air Force in the early 90's. I spent the next 3 years at Norton Air Force Base in So. Cal. It was a great experience and I met my wife there. After the Air Force I worked at different jobs to include Construction, Sales and Telecommunications. During this time I was also in the Air Force Reserves for the next 12 yrs. I was activated after 9/11 and spent the next 3 years activated in and out of Iraq and Kuwait not to mention a bunch of other places. I gave up the reserves after that for my family and went into Real Estate. I have been doing this for the last couple of years and find it very rewarding
