About Me:

Started in the Fire/EMS service just after 9/11/01, Ive always dreamed about being a career firefighter in the City of Albany which I currently reside. I began as a junior member in one of the local volunteer fire departments in my hometown and also volunteered at one of the local ambulance squads. When I turned 18 I became a EMT, went to Medic school, got an associates degree in Paramedicine. I also transferred to my current volunteer fire department, who also provides ambulance service to the other half of my home town. Im currently waiting for a position in Albany Fire Dept.
