About Me:

Started off as A volunteer in Edison For just under three years, and then had the opportunity to take the test for the carrer dept. All went well, and now I am currently in my Thirteenth year as a career Firefighter. The funny thing about all of this is that I almost went to take the test in East Orange, New Jersey where my Father at the time was a Firefighter. I had a choice, and chose to take the test in Edison.
