Summary
Accomplished Paramedic Firefighter with nearly 40 years of experience, 28 of those years in the Town Of Milford area. Enhancing patient outcomes through advanced life support and critical decision-making. Skilled in direct patient care and demonstrating exceptional patience and empathy, I have significantly contributed to community safety and health. Expert in structural firefighting and prehospital care, my mentoring has uplifted new paramedics' capabilities.
Looking to continue my last few years of service full-time to the Town of Milford where I can provide care, mentor the next generation of EMT's and Firefighters and help reinstate an old concept of community care. I would love to help Milford bring the concepts of public education, outreach and care back to the citizens through public level cpr classes, blood pressure clinics, general well being well-fare checks.
