Champ joined the Air Force in 2004, serving as an Outbound Cargo Technician. His proudest career moment was serving as a First Sergeant. He said, “Having the opportunity to mentor Airmen, help them navigate personal and professional challenges, and be a part of their milestones, whether it was overcoming adversity or celebrating promotions, was incredibly rewarding.” He is representing Team Air Force at the Warrior Games for the first time but has a deep understanding of the impact adaptive sports, and events such as Warrior Games, can have on recovering service members. He said, “Adaptive Sports restores purpose, build confidence, and create community amongst competitors. Sports and fitness shifts the focus from limitations to possibilities, helping warriors reclaim their strength—physically, mentally, and emotionally. It’s not just about competition; it’s about connection, healing, and proving that recovery is possible so long as you work towards it.”
