Summary

I am a hard working professional currently functioning in the digital marketing space as the Director of 3D Project Management. Although that is my current role, you will see that for the majority of my adult life I was involved with emergency medicine and 911 responses for various Fire Departments and Hospitals.


The year 2020 was hard on everyone. I personally contracted COVID during this time and due to the complications of the virus, I am no longer able to function as a 911 Paramedic. Switching gears entirely, and following my doctor's orders, I have been working in an more office based setting.


Staying positive is always the best way to succeed. When life throws you curve balls you can still knock it out of the park if you practice enough.
