About Me:

Prior active duty soldier, 4 years in the infantry. Proud to be a firefighter now, I dont do it for myself. I do it for those who may need it one day. Life has shown me death in more ways imaginable, and I want to be able to look at what I did in my life and know that I made a difference. I look at all that has been given to me and Im grateful for it all, family, friends, and life. I believe that no matter what GOD judges me on who I am and what I do, and I think I have made him proud

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I am a proud US ARMY veteran (Cco 2/3 INF). I wanted to do something to give back to my community. In total my family has almost a hundred years of fire experience, and it only seems natural for me to be a firefighter. I love helping those in need.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Helping is noble
