About Me:

I grew up in a firefighter/law enforecement household.

I joined Contra Costa SAR and served with them for seven years as a searcher and staff before moving to Mississippi. After moving to Mississippi, I became involved with the local VFD after reporting, then assisting with a local church fire. Two and a half years later, I have now moved to another town, where I am in the process of joining the local VFD.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

To make a difference in peoples' lives. Not everyone can operate in a First Responder capacity, but those who can, should.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

It's a brotherhood that cannot be understood from the outside, where one can make a difference in the lives of others.
