Brandon Olson
Haines City,FL
Summary
I am a highly motivated NREMT with a goal of professional firefighting. I attended college studying education and am grateful for the experience. I learned through my experiences that a career as a first responder was the career choice for me.
I attended career programs in high school with successful completions and in Illinois while I was a student participated in fire service cadet programs in Naperville Illinois and Warrenville Illinois with successful completions.
I grew up competing as a youth wrestler continuing into High School and learned that challenging myself both physically and mentally provided rewarding returns.
I am continuing to pursue those challenges now to become an asset to the Fire Service.
I have completed the NREMT certification successfully in 2024.
