Bio:: Born on Long Island, my family was well established in our townships Fire Service. The Fire Department was and still is 100% volunteer. Out of Highschool I began my apprenticeship as a Bricklayer while volunteering. The construction industry brought me to Va. Where I discovered I would rather be a full time firefighter. My construction knowledge has been vital in my career as a Fireman. I have been able to share considerable knowledge and experience with many and I believe has made a difference in others careers as well. Together with my love of teaching and personal experience I feel like I am giving back to a job that begs for any new, reliable information it can gather.
