While working as a Norcal Ambulance EMT for 1 1/2 years, I was constantly applying to fire academies and paramedic schools, patiently waiting for my one opportunity to show my full potential. Prior to getting accepted into the MJC Fire Academy, June 17th, 2024 was the day I was told I was going to be a dad and felt my whole purpose in this life change in the best way possible. I finally found my life's purpose and knew I was placed on this earth for 2 things: 1. To be the best possible father and husband I can be and 2. To provide the best selfless services for others as a Firefighter Paramedic.
