My life was changed at 16 years old, when I became a volunteer fireman. I fell in love with the job, and it has been my lifestyle ever since. My dedication to the fire service is beyond most. I was constantly voted as a top-runner while I was a full time Student-Athlete in college, and while obtaining my paramedic certification. Shortly after, I made it my career, and continued to better myself as a person and a Fireman. I continue to train, learn, attend classes, obtain certifications, and further my career for the better. In addition to the information that I have learned over the years, I ensure that my fellow co-workers get the opportunity to obtain information as well. Anything I learn, I make sure I pass the knowledge along. The fire service is my passion, my lifestyle, and is what makes me proud. I am proud to serve the public in their worst times of need, always in hopes to make things better.
