Summary
I spent the majority of my background providing aide to my community and others as a firefighter and first responder, then went on to work with other EMS transportation companies to provide efficient traveling for fragile patients of all kinds. I spent several years working construction, which included installing and maintaining gas line, and water, sewer and storm drains, these jobs often included operating large equipment. I have basic HVAC maintenance skills. I’ve also supplied mechanic services to both my prior fire department and my current ambulance service. I’m a hard worker, what I don’t know, I’m always willing to learn.
