- About Me:
- A volunteer firefighter for more than 14 years, loved serving others and making a difference in our area.
I volunteered to some units around the city and then finally home and finally went back were I've started.
I've wished this will be my professional career. But because of our Fire / EMS situation - no national law yet, no standard in EMS. So the salary is very low not enough to give a decent living to a family. So I just pursue my present career in I.T. industry but still continue to play active role in EMS in my volunteer capacity.

- I.T. Specialist
- Relationship Status:
- Married

- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- I joined the Fire /EMS because wanted to help other people and make a difference.
- Why I Love Fire/EMS
- I love Fire / EMS because this where I feel the deep satisfaction inside. of helping others even without in return.
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- EMS Law still on-hold in congress
no ICS protocol - still in inception phase.
Government Fire Department and Volunteer units fire ground conflict.
