About Me:

I started my career at WRTFD as a cadet 15 years ago. I just turned 30 years old this past December. I joined the USAF as a firefighter in 1999 and seperated in 2003. I had the privilage of two over seas missions, and saw several foreign countries. I got out of the military in '03 and was full time at Fishers Fire Department 5 months later. I was very lucky to get on this soon. One year later, I was able to return to WRTFD as a full time employee driving an Engine. Since then, I've got promoted, earned my Medic, and currently enrolled in school to recieve my RN. I've been married for 5 years, with a two year old little girl, and a boy due in May. Always busy....That's me.

Relationship Status:

Married

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I joined the fire service to impact other's lives. I joined because I was interested in what my best friend was doing every night after school. He is currently my best friend, and we share an office. I joined the fire service to challenge myself, and make something of myself. I think the fire service chose me.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I know that I can improve or prolong someone's life at a moments notice.
