About Me:: Grew up in West Virginia, Joined the US Navy in 2005 as a Fire Fighter, I spent 3 years in japan and my last year and a half in Seattle, Washington on board the ships: USS Blue Ridge and USS Momsen. Served as a Fire Marshal while in the Navy specializing in command fire safety as well as being a Fire Fighting Instructor. Now I live in Calgary, Alberta (Canada) and work for the city of Calgary as a Fire Training Officer.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: Of course every boy wants to be a Fire Fighter, but besides that my mother was a paramedic for 24 years. I grew up in the family of EMS and Firefighters. As I grew up, I witnessed how these individuals worked as a team for a common goal. Team work is really important to me, while in the Navy team work was a Major day to day task. And as a Firefighter (civilian/military) you have to work together to accomplish your task at hand. This is why I became a Firefighter!!!!! (Team work and Loyalty to the Job)
