Summary
I am retired as a Nurse/Paramedic and own a small farm here in Dallas, Georgia. I enjoy working and have been volunteering at various venues to continue contributing. I was a volunteer fire fighter in Thibodaux, Louisiana in the 1970's and feel that I could contribute to my local department in a lot of ways.
