About Me:

I am a 30 year old who got started in the fire service in 2003. I have really enjoyed my time helping others in there time of need. I have met alot of cool people along the way. I wouldnt be where I am today if I hadnt encountered these people, they have helped my become who I am. I am a newly wed as of April 2009 to my wife Brandy. She is the best, She puts up with my crap and still lets me sleep in the house. Man I am so lucky to have someone like her. My family is a big supporter of what I do as well, although at times it is hard for them to accept and understand why we do what we do, but in the end when property or life has been saved then they fully understand why we give the sacrifices we give. I want to thank everyone who has helped me along the way. I am a first time Daddy as of May 10th. kaleb was 10lbs 13.5oz of pure firefighting hell.....so look out when he gets older....lol
