Other Past or Current Departments and Organizations: CA,rescue worked with CCC,CDF,USDF,ARC,SLCC,assorted DOD & CDU agencies

My Training:: My training was in rescue/fire.We were trained for multiple environs.Flood,fire,and earthquake,essentially anything that came our way.

In all truth those of us trained for what we did were not superman,or Hercules. I'd consider my self to be the average joe,just doing the right thing.

About Me:: I feel a man is what he does day by day.My life has seen action as a menmber of a rescue team in CA,and later as a soldier in the US.Army.When my discharge came through I returned to N.California.I enjoy 1/6 scale building,this pretains to models, figures,etc,inshortform anything that applies to models,building, vehicles etc.Music tastes include rock,classic rock, hard rock, jazz,celtic,punk, classical, neo classical, new age,alt,techno,industrial etc.

taking pics,celtic festivals,ren faires,and highland games and gatherings are equally fun for me ,ad I attrend these whenever possible.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: I was involved with rescue within the state of CA in the 90's injured and returned home to NORCAL.did volunteer during the quakes in LA some years ago as well.

Why I Love Fire/EMS: fire & rescue always brought a smile to my face because we knew we were accomplishing something that was for a honorable purpose,not a shameful or foul purpose.

Top Issues Facing Responders:: intel (not always as accurate as we like,but hey we signed up for it didn't we? ) Politicians messing with the budget needed by us to complete our missions,and indeed not having the equipment needed to do our mission.these are definately classified as top issues facing our brothers and sisters.
