Ironside grew up near the Norfolk Naval Base in Virginia. Following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, he enlisted into the Navy when he turned 18. He was to become a third generation Naval Officer, but his love of airplanes led him on a different route. Ironside opted out of Officer School in order to serve on the USS Flagg. As a Carrier Deck Crewman, Ironside is responsible for transportation and handling of aviation fuels.
