About Me:

I work in Critical Care but my true calling in life is Firefighting. There is nothing that can take from the brotherhood felt in a department or interdepartmental. I'm also an avid motorcycle rider and the wife an I ride everywhere we can. My goal is to become part of a full time department and live a lifelong dream. The military fire service is great and the training is ultimate, but nothing can compensate as compared to being a full timer.
