About Me:
Personally, I am a very easy- going person with a great desire to succeed in life. I am a strong, goal-oriented person and a motivated self-starter. I adapt well in any changing environment, and I love challenges. I am well rounded educationally, and I have alot of Cherokee Indian Lineage in my background, which I am very proud of.

When I am away from work, I enjoy the outdoors. I enjoy hiking, mountain biking, freelance photography, and nature in general. As a hobby, I enjoy traveling, and exploring places that I have never been before. I also love fishing and camping as well.

I am a huge sports fan...I enjoy baseball, football, wrestling, UFC, and I have adapted to play golf some, as it's very relaxing. As baseball is concerned, I don't really have a favorite team right now, and on my "Bucket List" I would like to travel around and visit every single Pro Stadium in the United States. Football is my personal passion; I can't live without it during the season. I live in Alabama, but can't stand Alabama Football because of the "holier than thou" attitude they display. I am a huge FSU fan, due partly because of the Bobby Bowden Legacy.

I love antique cars, motor cycles; (although I don't have one yet), people- I love to "people watch" and intelligent conversations. "People Watching" develops discernment through watching other's actions, walking gaits, and how they basically conduct and present themselves in public. I also love Genealogy, in which I have my dad's family traced back into the British Isles before they migrated to the United States.
Day Job:
EMT/Driver- Oxford Emergency Medical Services
Relationship Status:
Married
Why I Joined Fire/EMS
It is in my blood. My dad was a captain at Anniston Fire Department; Anniston, Alabama for 20+ years. I originally wanted to play baseball for a living and ended up tearing my pitching arm, ending my career; so I went into Emergency Services first as a Volunteer Fire Fighter, then as an EMT, and now I am working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Homeland Security, hopefully to end up as an Instructor for Fire or EMS.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I enjoy helping others out of the toughest times in their lives.
