About Me:

I have been in the emergency field for what seems a very short time but looking back; 10 years is substantial. I am still learning something new everytime I work.
Currently I am contemplating getting out of the field and moving into the direction of emergency management. We'll see what lies ahead I guess.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

My dad was a first responder. Seeing how he helped people outside of the hospital inspired me to follow along in his footsteps and make it my own.
