Other Past or Current Departments and Organizations: Member of the Northern Kentucky Technical Rescue Team

My Training:: IFSAC I and II certified firefighter, KY certificed instructor Level I, Haz Mat Tech, High and Low Angle Ropes / Large Animal Rescue / Ground Search and Rescue / Swift Water Rescue / Ice rescue

About Me:: 41 year old career firefighter (8 years) that discovered firefighting as a volunteer 20 years ago. Happily married with four stepchildren and one of my own. Enjoy outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking and camping and spending time with my family.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: First for the thrill, but after a structure fire realized the difference I made in a womans life by simply saving one book that had alot of memories for her. After that it was about helping people when things were going bad for them

Why I Love Fire/EMS: Helping others, the shift is never the same, and of course the fun times with the guys and gals at work

Top Issues Facing Responders:: Lack of manpower
Fewer runs to build up the experience factor
Funding issues that affect adequate training and equipment
