About Me:

47 year old average everyday kind of guy that enjoys doing what I can to help people. I also enjoy encouraging the younger guys to get involved and learn all they can. There is too much bad stuff out there for our older teenagers to get mixed up in and to see them get involved in something good to help other people is one of the best things we can do for them and I'm glad to be involved with that.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

When I was in my early twenties I was a member of a rescue squad and for a while was also an EMT, but got away from it for a while. I wasn't ever satisfied after that and after a few years I joined the volunteer fire department in the community I live in. I just really enjoy trying to do what I can to help the people in my community and county.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

It's all about helping people when they need help the most.
