Summary
A dedicated Wayne County native who doesn't work in any other service and has always been loyal. I'm still young, and I can provide many years of service without the worry of retiring on you, or losing interest. I'm extremely good with paperwork and a computer whiz. I find logistics and peer cooperation to be both fun and something at which I'm good at and enjoy. I am very determined to create a better service that employees will flock to without being a pushover or a "yes man." I feel I have a good grasp on things, but I would like to work closely with the judge and medical director on creating the ultimate service. My leadership speaks for itself if you ask any member of the Rescue Squad or patients that I've had, both in EMS and Rescue!
