I originally wanted to be a video game designer, but so I went to ITT Tech, which is funny because that school doesn't even exist anymore.

Yeah, yeah.

And they're like video game design degree.

And I'm like, yeah.

wasn't going to jump me into a paying career, but tech support did.

Here I am fixing computers one day, the next day I'm flying in a helicopter, and then the next day I'm repairing helicopters.

The path to flight is you have to put together a flight packet, which is a huge application process.

So I did that twice, got rejected two times, ended up going for another military specialty, which is like another specialty on the Blackhawk, learning that job.

and made it to Staff Sergeant, which is an E6.

And I was like around 12 years of service.
