Summary
I have been in the fire service for 22 years and along the way I have continued my education to make me a better FF. I also coached youth baseball for 5 years winning two state Dixie youth baseball titles. I also took my team to Cooperstown to play baseball and see the baseball Hall of Fame. I do tile and flooring on the side to stay busy and as a hobby that pays me. I have had my medic for 12 years but the department was never ALS. We are going ALS and I want to make sure I get as much learning as possible to adapt to all the new information. Patient care is important to me and I want to be prepared for January when they test me.
