Summary

My name is Preston Hammond, I grew up in the state of Missouri. I attended middle school and high school in Warsaw, Missouri, from which I graduated in 2015. I played baseball all throughout high school and middle school. Since the age of 16 I have been an active member of Deer Creek Fire Protection District in Edwards, Missouri. After high school I made the decision to enlist in the US Army as an 11B or otherwise known as Infantry. From which I trained at Fort Benning, Georgia for 14 weeks. I was stationed at Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, Alaska. I was deployed to Kandahar, in 2017 and returned in 2018.

After the military I got a job as a general laborer at modular concrete docks in Eldon, Missouri. To which I learned the skill of pouring, finishing concrete, and assembling floating concrete docks.

I am a certified firefighter with DCFPD which has given the opportunity to become certified in first aid, AED, CPR, wildland fire, structure fire, vehicle extrication, fire suppression and EMT B.
