Husband and father. Three beautiful children. Married for 14 years. Conservative political views. Christian/Lutheran background and faith.
EMS pilot in the Northeast part of United States. Work as a contract employee (Helicopter/Health System vendor relationship) for an awesome air medical program. The flight program and health system are 100% committed to continued business growth with no compromise of safety. I fly state of the art, twin engine, single pilot IFR aircraft. I consider myself very lucky to work for a progressive program in a rural area I want to live in.
I started flying EMS after departing the military. Original plan was to fly for the airlines; however, after 9/11/2001, the airline industry and the whole world changed. I ended up staying in helicopters and have been thankful I did ever since. EMS is a great career filled with great people.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I get to work with professionals committed to helping other people.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
2008 was the worst year on record for air medical flight accidents. Improving our safety record is priority one.
