About Me:

I am 22 years old, I embarked on a journey in the emergency services when I was 16 years old. I grew up with around the fire department where my uncle served as Assistant Chief and Captain. I moved away, but as the day I came back to Monroe I had my application in at Wesley Chapel. I was a member with that department until Oct. 2006, I moved on down the road to Bakers Fire & Rescue where I am now. As of Aug.1 we became a combination department where I have been given the opportunity to make a little bit of pocket money to do what I would be doing on my days off anyway. I am currently a Firefighter / EMT with this department, one day I hope to move up in the ranks. I work part time for Cabarrus county EMS, its a fun job. I hope to soon be working full time for either Charlotte Fire or Concord Fire, all I can do is try. Im an open book, Ill tell you anything you want to know and probably some stuff you dont want to know.
