About Me:

In my senior year of high school I went to Technology Center of DuPage where I went, and received my certification for Firefighter I. During that time I started to participated with the Naperville Fire Department Explorer program for just over two and a half years. I was contracted with Glenside Fire Protection District as a Part-time/paid-on-call firefighter. I was there for two years before resigning. Currently I am looking for a full-time firefighter position somewhere in the state of IL that does not require EMT-P.

Day Job:

Driver for a flooring company.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

First I would like to state that I am NO LONGER WITH GLENSIDE FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT. I was a Fire Explorer with Naperville Fire Department for over two years but I am not currently active with them.
