About Me:

I have been working hard in getting any and all different schooling in. I have FF2, RIT, and confined space lined up. I have been a Firefighter for almost 3 years. I have been at two different calls with a total of four (4) children died, one in a ice rescue and three in a fatal house fire. I have been on rescue squad since I started. Every call I have gone to or made all patients fell victim to their injuries. Since then I have made all efforts to teach the public about fire safety.

Relationship Status:

Married

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Seeing the kids and how they react to us when we teach them fire safety
