Segreti is a “tip-ofthe-spear” enlisted aviator and evaluator, focused on safety and modernization through innovation, he said.

“His professional development standards are relentless

and he is a community ambassador, conducting 50+ hours of outreach as a children’s ministry teacher and dedicated volunteer to the Pregnancy Support Center of Ulster County,” Richardson said.

Segreti grew up in Rhinebeck and enlisted in the New York Air National Guard in 2008. He completed basic military training as the top honor graduate in May 2009.

He flew on C-5 aircrew in support of missions to Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2014, he graduated from C-17 instructor loadmaster school. He now serves as evaluator loadmaster for the wing.
