About Me:

I'm a 26 year old volunteer firefighter from Western NY. I currently go to college full time studying fire protection technology and work full time at Walmart. I work part time as a security guard during the summer. I have been in the fire service for 12 years. 9 of those years as an active firefighter and 3 as a junior firefighter. I also was on my college fire department in NH as a captain and training officer my sophomore year. While on my college department I responded with the town my college was in as a paid per call firefighter. I am currently a Captain for the 2nd year in a row and a lieutenant before that. I did 3 years in the United States Army with a tour in Afghanistan. I enjoy helping to train new and younger members and am an advisor to the junior firefighter program.
