CHARLESTON,WV
Summary
I'm a 3rd generation fireman with my uncle and grandfather both having career and volunteer roles. I have 12 years of fire service experience with going on year 6 being career experience. I have a background in general labor before attaining my goal of being a career fireman. I am currently enrolled in a Paramedic science program which I am expected to finish in July of 2024. I have been an EMT-B for 6 years and in the works of obtaining NREMT Advanced EMT prior to finishing Paramedic. I have many certifications in the State of West Virginia and some certifications I have obtained from going to out of state training as well. I am a fire instructor 2 with WV Public Service Training and always trying to further my knowledge to pass it onto those coming behind me.
