Serving 13 years in the United States Air Force as a Supply Technician and 17 years in the private sector, Star Pipe has left the Minnesota area and I am looking for another position in the Eagan area. Currently I have joined the USAF Reserves here in Minnesota as a Medical Material Handler, spending the last 1 1/2 years going to school and training for this position.
