Summary
With over thirty years of experience in the Florida fire service, I have gained invaluable on-the-job knowledge and expertise. From dedicated volunteer to North Ft. Myers Fire Fighter in January 2002, I have consistently pursued my goal. Throughout my time at North, I embraced opportunities for growth and learning. Now, I am eager to utilize my skills and lead our department towards a successful future.
