About Me:

Joined Waco Fire about 5 years ago. Was interested in the EMS part of it, but after i joined found out fire is very interesting also! Became a First Responder shortly after i joined...that wasn't enough so I became a NREMT-B. Shortly after that became EMT-Captain of the department which i still serve as Captain and Training officer. I am also a BLS-Instructor and teach for Southeast Community College. Just recently have joined Utica Fire and Rescue.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

adrenaline rush......what more is there to say!? Besides helping the community!

Top Issues Facing Responders:

Volunteers not wanting to do Continuing Education. I feel to be good at what we do we MUST continue to train.
