About Me:
I love to hunt and fish. Especially fly fishing. I'm a pretty avid Ohio State Football fan as well as Marshall University out of West Virginia. I show cutting horses and enjoy working for a horse trainer in northern Ohio. I have always enjoyed writing stories and firefighter poetry. I am a big supporter of the Everyone Goes Home program and the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. Firefighter safety is number one in my book. I hate to see a brother or sister's name added to the memorial in Emmitsburg.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS
When I was a young kid, still in the single digits, I met a volunteer firefighter. I asked him, "Have you ever saved anyone?" He smiled at me and said, "Yep." The pride I saw in his eyes just wowed me. I knew then that I would be a firefighter one day. In 2002, that firefighter was killed in the line of duty. I was still in high school so I joined the department as a junior firefighter just a few months after his death. I joined the fire department in memory of my fallen brother, to help my community, and because I wanted to be as proud of my job as that firefighter was. One thing I can truly say, is that I am.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I enjoy being with my brothers and sisters in the fire service. Most of all, I just love helping people!

    Working 911 full time now. Quit out at the college after 20 years. They screwed me over and didn't even lube. But I'm much happier here anyway. Other than that life is good and busy.
