I live in Abilene Kansas married with our first baby on the way!!! I have been in Emergency Services ever since I was 18. I have been a fulltime career firefighter for 5 years having been a law enforcement officer for the 12 years prior. With my past law experience I became an Arson Investigator and became part of the Fort Riley Fire Investigator Team.
In my personal life I love Music. I am a song writer and also have done some recording.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Of course it was to help people and serve my community. But you know, now if I had to answer this question it would be because of the brother and sisterhood that Emergency Services build. What an honor to be associated with that type of bond.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I can go home and know that I did my good deed for the day!
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Communications is the biggest. It seems that an agency is never happy with its radio system. Even if we find a great radio, someone wants something new because it has a new feature..well the old ones worked great and these $6000 ones suck. "I am not bitter" haha
