Bio:
I come from a family of firefighters. My Dad started on the volunteer department in our town more than 50 years ago. He still is active as a District Board Member. My oldest brother is the Fire Chief, my brother between us is the Asst. Fire Chief and I am third in charge as Captain. I have other family members on the department, such as two nephews (the Chiefs sons), and all three of our wives are members and active in various ways. My son at 12 years old can't wait to become 18 and join the department. I started riding with my Dad and brothers at 16, when thre were a lot less rules. I became a regular member at 18 and loved the fire service since. I also took my EMT-Basic when I was 17 and in High School at the college at night. I wanted to get as much training I could right off the bat. I then went on to Fire Science classes and received the rest of my certifications. I currently am a Paramedic and the Managing Director for the private ambulance service that covers my town and surrounding towns as my full-time employment. I also volunteer to instruct on our local firefighter's association trainings. I can't imagine doing anything else in life! I had the great opportunity to introduce myself, my wife and son to Chief Halton at FDIC this year. It was one of the best experiences in my firefighting career and will cherish that memory for a lifetime. Thank you.
