About Me:

Started when I was 16yrs. old. Five years of Jr. firefighting. Full firefighting at 21yrs. old. Went through the ranks and made Cheif at 29 yrs. old. (youngest cheif in Department history). Many good things happened in my first 25 yrs. September 16th 1999 New Jersey got hit by Tropical storm Floyd. Our department made alot of rescues the first day. Myself and two police officers where give Recoginistion awards for rescuing a father and son swept down river. This wouldn't happen if I we didn't work together as one team. The biggest thing to date was being called to work at Ground Zero. My EMS crew were called in just after the attack. We are about 25 minutes from NY. We worked the first to days on site.
