About Me:

My greatest aspiration is to be a Wildland Firefighter for either CAL-FIRE or the USDA Forest Service. I currently work as a cook at a local theme park and son hope to have my Degree in Fire Science so I can move on to CSULA to obtain my BS in Fire Administration. Right now my primary focus is getting in shape. Overall I'm healthy but need to loose quiet a few more pounds to do this job right. My dad, a Captain for CDF, always tells me I not only need to have the ability to be a firefighter but also the desire. I know he’s right and look forward to proving it to him. Other than that their isn't much to know, I'm into the normal College aged guy stuff. You know Girls, Money, Video Games, Girls, Myspace, Girls, Money, and Girls. Oh and Girls.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I've been around the Fire Service my whole life because of my dad, he's a Captain with our State Agency. It was just natural progression I guess.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I get to do things average citizens don't get to do. It's that feeling of well being and happines.

Top Issues Facing Responders:

I would say it's the lack of community education.
