About Me:
I have been a wildland firefighter for three years now and got a taste this summer of structual protection. So, i am right now a volunteer firefighter at douglas county fire department and am going through all of my training to become a structual firefighter this month. So i hope that all goes well with that.
Right now I am trying to finish my associates in arts and science. And then hopefully in a week or two i will find out if i got into Haskell Indain Nations University in Lawerence, Ks. There i will get a Bachelors in Science. So that way i can live my dream lifestyle. Which is to be a full time teacher and volunteer firefighter and then in the summer be a wildland firefighter. Or if i get to jung ho on being a firefighter, i will have my teaching degree to rely on in case I get hurt on the job.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS
People have always asked my why did i choose to become a fire fighter. I always tell them that i love to help people and if you ever would open one of my veins, I would bleed fire.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
a good deed never goes unnoticed.
