About Me:: I am from the province of Newfoundland & Labrador in Canada and I am currently working in the Province of Ontario, Canada.

I am a University graduate. I completed a degree in Business Administration.

At home in Newfoundland & Labrador, I was the Training Officer for my department. Here in Ontario, I am starting to volunteer to help out with some Fire Prevention activities.

I am an active recreational scuba diver and I welcome the opportunity to chat with other divers.

I have volunteered with the Firefighters Combat Challenge in the past.

I like to ski and snowmobile. It's always fun to get a nice clean truck full of mud on a nice summer day too.

I welcome the opportunity to chat with people.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: I joined the fire department to help out and give back to my community. Ever since I joined, I have never looked back. Each call and each training session has been absolutely amazing.

Top Issues Facing Responders:: - Attracting and retaining volunteers
- Funding for training and equipment
