Summary

I am very passionate about and have dedicated my entire professional career to public service. After 20 plus rewarding years as a firefighter and paramedic, I have decided to focus my efforts towards reducing fire and life safety hazards through inspections, enforcement, and public education. I am excited about expanding my knowledge in these aspects, and looking forward to extending my service to the public for many years to come.
