About Me:

When I'm home I rarely miss a call with Bennington.
In Potsdam, I run an average of 50-55 calls a month.

I've been in some bad fires, and I've been to some bad wrecks. In just a few short years, I've just about seen it all.

The pride you get from seeing the relief in the eyes of those you've helped, the silent thanks from the family members, and the satisfaction that comes from knowing that you've helped someone in desperate need just can't beat.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

After having my hometown volunteers take several hours out of their own lives twice in one month to help me in my times of need, I wanted to give back.
