My Training:: I am a seasonal wildland firefighter who is taking classes durring the off-season for fire protection and E.M.T. The only medical training that I've completed was the Combat Life Saver course I went through while serving as an airborne infantryman in the U.S. Army.

About Me:: I'm an Army veteran who began wildland firefighting three years ago and will continue to do so until my knees blow out.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: To work outdoors in an exciting environment while helping others.

Why I Love Fire/EMS: The hard work and excitement of the job. Kicking ash and taking flames.
