About Me:

Always quick with a joke, or jab at someone when they need it. Love to be with my wife and son as much as possible. I love camping, fishing, hunting, or just sittin' in my recliner watching movies. I'm easily entertained. My wife says I'm to outspoken and opinionated at times. I don't think so, I just say what's on my mind.

Day Job:

Firefighter

Relationship Status:

Married

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

My Dad was a firefighter before becoming a police officer. So public safety was always in my blood.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

The never knowing whats going to happen next. It used to be the adrenaline rush, but not so much anymore.
