Community Service

I have enjoyed serving my community for the past 20 years as a proud firefighter. Not only serving as a firefighter but also instructing new upcoming recruits as they joined our service. In the last 10 of those years, I was able to ride a squad as an EMT/firefighter, answering the emergency calls of our local communities. Community service has always had a special place in my heart. I am a husband and father of three amazing kids. I strive to leave a footprint my family and friends can follow and be proud of. Being part of the Masonic Lodge and Shriners has been such a rewarding and humbling experience that I will always cherish.
