About Me:

I have been a firefighter for nearly 13 years with the last 7 being paid w/ the federal government. I started out as a volunteer firefighter in New Jersey as well as volunteering with a first aid squad. I moved to Alabama and continued volunteering until I was hired by the Federal government as a DOD firefighter. At the current time I am working full time in Arizona as a DOD firefighter. I strive to continue furthering my education in public safety. I believe the fire service as a whole is growing and we all need to stay sharp on the new techniques.
