About Me:
I finally got the job of my dreams in 2008! I was appointed as Probationary Firefighter for the City of Kingston Fire Department. I graduated from Class 2008-1 of the New York State Academy of Fire Science with several certifications. Before I got hired I was a dispatcher for Ulster County 9-1-1 for 12 years.

During my off time I enjoy watching the NY Giants and Jets, Yankees and the Knicks. Traveling and music.

Firefighter
Relationship Status:
Married
Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Since the age of four I wanted to be a firefighter. It all started with a visit to old Co. 2 when I was in Nursery School, then from there it was watching Emergency! on TV. When I got older, I became a volunteer, after that... Everything is history.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Brotherhood, sense of belonging and pride!
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Know-nothing politicians who criticize the Fire Department and it's procedures when they have every opportunity to learn about what we do.
