Summary

Excavation Foreman with 4 years of experience mainly as an operator installing utilities and infrastructure. Since May of 2023 I have been working as a foreman overseeing a small crew in the Gallatin Valley. In May of 2020 I began working with GGRFD, and obtained my EMT license in the fall of 2020 through Best Practice Medicine. Since then I have gained knowledge and experience in firefighting tactics and equipment, and furthered my EMS skills.
