About Me:

I have been in the fire service for over 9 years now. It is a family tradition as I have had 2 cousins, an uncle, and 2 brothers-in-law also in the fire service. It is the best job there is.

I currently hold the position of Sergeant with a goal of continuing to grow in my profession to the best of my abilities and for the best I can do for my department.

I am happily married with two beautiful kids. My family is my life and I enjoy every moment with them that I have.

I manage a referral network for other firefighter and their side jobs. Check it out and give me some feedback. www.safetytrades.com
