About Me:

I started as a volunteer with Marion Rural Fire Department in early 1999 and served there until APR 2000 when I enlisted in the Army. In the Army I continued my love for Fire/Rescue/EMS by training as a Combat Life Saver. I got out of the Army in Mar 2005 and returned home (Marion, SC) where I rejoined MRFD. I then went to work for Carolina MedCare as a driver. I got my NREMT-B certification in JUL 2007 and began work with Marion County EMS. I recently completed my NREMT-I class and am waiting for my cards to arrive.
