About Me:
I am very happily married to my wife of 27 years. I thank God everyday for her influence and involvement in my life. She is my best friend and I will always strive for her to want to be! I have not always been the easiest to live with; my getting blown out of bed at all hours of the night by a Fire Dept. pager - she never complains about it. We have 2 grown children Alison (25) has her Masters Degree and is a Residence Director at a local College in Albany, NY - Evan (23) is working towards his Bachelors Degree in Engineering. No Dad could be prouder of his children, they are honest people who are hard workers with good work ethics. As a family we enjoy gardening & landscaping, recreational kayaking, hiking & backpacking along with snowshoeing.
Day Job:

HEY PETE, JUST DROPPED BY TO SAY HI, HOPE ALL IS WELL, BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE HEARD FROM YOU OR THAT I WROTE. BE SAFE AND TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS.
Pete, stopped by to say hi, How have you been? I've been pretty busy. nice weather coming and lots to do. Take care and be safe and God Bless you and your family.
Hi Pete,
I appreciate your welcome and comments. I happened in to the fire service via an unconventional route. I've been a flight nurse/trauma nurse for years. I did a lot of teaching for prehospital/paramedic type courses. When the educator position became available I was estatic. I wouldn't trade my digs for anything. I look forward to the friendship and networking possibilities on firefighternation. I need my kids to get me spun up on all the computer navigation. I hope you have a great day and thanks again for taking the time to touch base.
