“I was fortunate to receive a Daedalian scholarship back in 1986 from the generous Colorado Springs Chapter, and it shaped my life for the good. Upon graduating from UPT in 1994, I promptly joined Daedalians at my first active-duty base, Offutt AFB, and joined the scholarship committee to give back immediately. I have been involved in Daedalians ever since and have had a long and blessed 23-year military career, finishing as a wing commander at Fairchild AFB with 4,300 hours total flying time. The scholarship meant that much to me, and I continue to give back at every opportunity.”
