NOAH DAVIS - Board Member

Noah, Class of 2017, swore he was going to leave theater behind and try something new when he got to the Academy; that promise quickly went out the window with one look at the Arnold Hall stage. He was a part of Bluebards for all 4 years at USAFA and through the club was also given the opportunity to use theater to open dialogue about important topics like sexual assault in the military and PTSD. These experiences led him to believe that theater and the arts are an important part of cadets’ lives and he is excited to continue supporting Bluebards through Falcon Theater Foundation. He is currently an Space Force developmental test engineer.
