About Me:

Out of high school I joined Cedarburg Emergency Government, which is, an Auxiliary Police for the community. We would get called out for Severe Weather Spotting and traffic control for major incidents. That wasn't enough for me I needed something to crave my adrenolin rush. I sought out Cedarburg Fire Department and became a firefighter in September 2003. Six months later I started driving the Rescue Squad. After much convincing I went to school for EMT-Basic. I received my certification in June 2005. I was then forced to move to Burlington for my real job. I would like to become a member of a paid department.
