Alan previously received an associate’s degree in aviation operations from the Community College of the Air Force and held several positions with the United States Air Force until 2015. He then became a Washington State Journeyman Carpenter and worked with Hanson Carlen Architecture & Construction in Spokane before returning to school to study structural engineering. This summer, he has an internship with BC Engineers in Hayden, Idaho. For fun, Alan enjoys rock climbing, diving, and building furniture. He was born and raised in Williamson, New York, and graduated from Williamson Senior High School.
