- About Me:
- I am a 45 year old Male who is has been married for the past 19 years and have 3 kids all girls. I am origionally from Ky and now in SC and have been all over the world during peace time and war. I enjoy sports and outdoor activties espically football, rugby, camping, fishing, and beaches. I enjoy good movies.

- Married
- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- I became part of my local volunteer program when I was a teenager back home, so that I could do more for our small town. After high school I joined the Marine Corps where I continued my emergency services career as an Aircraft Rescue firefighter.
- Why I Love Fire/EMS
- The feeling of accomplishment for my accomplishments and those I have helped over the years
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- COMPLACIENCY - Its just a fire and its the same all the time. Its just a medical call what will happen. The aircraft will never crash in our area it always happens on the runway. Until April 22 that last statement was true but see I told everyone it would happen one day
