About Me:

I'm 35 years old and am a Lieutenent on the Chesapeake-Union Twp. VFD. Also an EMT-B. I also work at the Ceredo VFD as a paid EMT-B (the EMS is ran out of the fire dept. and is a paid service). I enjoy helping others. My pride and joy is my 4 yr old son (that we adopted 2 yrs ago from China). I also am a Kentucky High School registered football official for the past 3 years (also 4 years in WV and OH). I enjoy spending time with my son, going to Marshall Univ. football games and tailgating, and doing just about anything with the sport of football. I am in the process of attempting to officiate college football.
