About Me:
I work for a company named Temple-Inland as a Liner Board Paper Maker. I work swing shift so you can imagine it's kind of rough trying to work there and be a firefighter too. Our chief is the only full time person at this time, the rest of us are paid on call. I'm married to a beautiful understanding women (Wendy) and have 2 children. 15 year old boy (Micheal) 9 year old girl (Bailey). Oh yeah, 2 dogs and 1 cat. We own a home on the out skirts of a town with the population of 4000+

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Top Issues Facing Responders:
With this being a small town we work more MVA's than anything. You learn real fast that a lot of people don't care who you are or what your doing. So you have to stay sharp and on your toes when working the public roadways.
