About Me:

During the day I'm the general manager of a country club. The rest of my time is spent volunteering with the department and managing fire department business. We're a small, very rural department. The guys in my department are the best - they've welcomed me as an out gay man and include my partner in all social events. I think we've changed each other in a very good way.
