About Me:

Ever since I was 3 years I've watched shows like "911" and "ER". My goal is to become and MD specializing in emergency medicine. I love being out there to help people when they need it. I like the challenge that EMS brings and I can work fine without a thank you or a pat on the back for everything I do. I'm in EMS because I know patient by patient I can make a difference. I started about a year ago as an explorer and have been pulling call time ever since. I've seen enough to know I love what I do but I'm still "the new guy".
