Meyer retired from the military as a part-timer in the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves. His part-time job turned into eight years of active duty, twelve combat deployments, and two years of state-side medivac and human remains missions.

During many of these “trips,” he mounted a camera behind his flight engineer seat and tapped into the comm system on the C-130 capturing everything from the mundane to the intense. Meyer is using these videos to spark his memory so that he can share his experiences with others, especially non-military.

Meyer received an MFA in photography and taught at the university level before returning to the military. Meyer uses photography, text, and video to tell his stories.
