- Bio:
- I began my Fire career as a volunteer for the Van Etten Volunteer Fire Dept at age 17. I was an active member there for a little over 9 years. I held various Asst. Chief positions for the last 6 years there with the exception of my deployment for Operation Desert Shield/Storm.
I began my employment as a Career firefighter in Feb 1995. I served on Engine and Truck companies but spent most of my early career on the Rescue Unit. In 2000, I became a NYS AEMT-Paramedic. I was assigned as a Lieutenant on the Rescue,upon my promotion in 2003, until the unit was deactivated during our most recent manpower cut. Since then, I have been assigned to Engine 5, where I am currently the House Officer for that Station. This station was built in 1911 and once held horse drawn units and is the oldest active station in our county. As needed, I also am assigned to the Truck company to cover as Acting Captain.
I have been a State Fire Instructor since 2004,Municipal Fire Instructor since 2003, and am an instructor at the New York State Fire Academy for the Recruit Firefighter Training program.
