About Me:

I am 18 years old and just graduated from North Buncombe High School. I have been several county jr. ff programs and am part of Asheville Fire-Rescue explorer program. School takes up the majority of my time and besides that, I work and manage the 8 other explorers on our post. I am in a 2+ year relationship with an amazing girl. I could never ask for more. Family and faith are roots that run deep in my life, and without them I would certainly not be the person that I am today.

Relationship Status:

In a Relationship

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

It was a mixture of just plain curiosity and a long-time interest in the profession, but also the want to help and serve people and hopefully make a difference in at least one person's life.
