About Me:
Educated Professional living the EMS/Fire life after not having the courage to do it earlier in life. Changed careers at 31 and haven't looked back. I am expanding my experience base as well as gaining credentials in more states.
I am an adrenaline freak, always new I would be involved since I was a kid....and honestly, I truly do love making a difference in people's lives even if it is for a short time.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
never the same dull job
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Vehicle Safety, Vehicle Safety, Vehicle Safety, a need for a uniform (nationwide) standard of care, the new healthcare reform bill (will put a lot of people out of work)
