About Me:

Started in 1997 initially as an E.M.T and then was added to the Hq Fire Co. I have been very active since the day I started answering at least 350 alarms a year from EMS to FIre or whatever came our way! I kept learning Firefighting and EMS from my amazing mentors. I became ALS in 2003 and presently in the SJU Paramedic class. I was an EMS LT. from 2003-2005 and then voted to EMS Captain from 2005 to 4/2007. I presently am the 2nd Lt. for Co.1. I work full-time as an ALS first Responder @ GHFD where I'm first due to all alarms and initiate EMS. I'm blessed to have my job and ablility to Vollie!
I have a lot to learn yet, I have alot to teach!
