Became fire chief of small dept. May 1985, helped to grow our dept. into what is now 12 county wide stations. Served as Chief of dept till 1998, stepped down to asst. chief due to job requirements, assumed Chief position again in 2004, elected County Mayor in 2006, stepped down, was asked to stay on as asst. chief again. Love the fire and emergency service. I still make many medical calls to assist ems as well as respond to most all structure fires within the county. Greatest accomplishment acquiring class 6 ISO rating for entire county without water mains, (tanker shuttle).
