About Me:
Well first off i guess i should tell you all my nickname that i have had since first entering the fire service. Its Gopher, its a play on my last name being Runer and running to get stuff. Well it stuck and there are some guys on the department that cant seem to remember me by anything but that which is perfectly ok with me. It gets kind of amusing sometimes. Right now Im just going to college and fighting fire. If you want to know anything else just ask.
