About Me:

I actually went to the other side of the radio in 2001 and spent 5 years with Cobb County 911. Yes, people really did call about cats in trees - need I say more? In June of 2006, I started with my current position as a Flight Communications Specialist with Omniflight/ Rescue Air 1.

My wonderful husband has been a FF/EMTP with Cobb County GA Fire for working on 10 years.
