About Me:

It all started when I was 12. My uncle was fire chief in Captiva Florida. I went down there in the summers and ran calls with him. Fought my first structure fire at age 13 I was assigned to hydrant detail. Started EMT class 3 days after graduating from high school. Had my NREMT 3 months later. Started the fire academy 8 month later. Received my firefighter II exactly 1 year after graduating from high school. Have never looked back since then....
