I have 5 years in the fire service, 2 of which I was a cadet with Sublimity fire, The third year I was a recruit and went through the Santiam Fire Academy and have been a certified firefighter since that time. I also have worked on my families farm since I was 14 doing all kinds of work from general labor such as backpack spraying, rock picking, ect. I also started operating equipment at a younger age around the farm such as tractor, excavators, loaders and forklifts. I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience from that time. I have a passion for operating equipment and helping the community.
