About Me:
I am very happily married to my wife of 27 years. I thank God everyday for her influence and involvement in my life. She is my best friend and I will always strive for her to want to be! I have not always been the easiest to live with; my getting blown out of bed at all hours of the night by a Fire Dept. pager - she never complains about it. We have 2 grown children Alison (25) has her Masters Degree and is a Residence Director at a local College in Albany, NY - Evan (23) is working towards his Bachelors Degree in Engineering. No Dad could be prouder of his children, they are honest people who are hard workers with good work ethics. As a family we enjoy gardening & landscaping, recreational kayaking, hiking & backpacking along with snowshoeing.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS
To give back to my community, and enjoy the camaraderie of kindred spirits. Many people simply live in a community, those of us in FIRE/EMS Depts. make up the fabric of those communities!
