- I have had the ability to train and receive an education in many forms of firefighting. I am currently trained in EMS,structure, wildland, and ARFF. I am also trained and experienced in HAZMAT and explosives. I won't list everything here, it would take to long for me to type. Except me for what I bring to the table not all this pretty paper hanging up in my office.
- About Me:
- Firefighting is a service with a lot of history. The pride that comes with fire/rescue service is a pride that is built on the shoulders of many hard working men and women before us. I am very grateful to have the ability to work in their shadow and legacies. Fire service rarely gets invites to graduations,weddings,anniversaries,etc. We are in the "worst day of your life" business. That is what we get invited to.

- Not only making a difference, but I love being the captain of station 31. The crew here are devoted and hard working. Nobody does it better than the house of 1's!
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- One of the biggest is recruitment and retention in the volunteer side of fire service.
