Summary

Having been raised by dependable and generous Golden Age grandparents, my grandfather being a retired Marine and Henderson Police Department Lt., discipline and personal accountability was highly prioritized at an early age. Both martial arts and the Henderson Fire Department Explorer's Program honed those skills to be goal-oriented and sharpened my time-management. Emergency Medical Services offered a truly incredible array of experiences in helping people in nearly any and all situations imaginable. I do take pride in my convictions toward prioritizing the well-being and care of others. That resonates through all interactions both on and off the clock of any job I've ever worked.
