- Bio:
- I'm a 14-year student of the job. I started my career in 1995 with the Painesville Twp. Fire Department and joined the Euclid Fire Dept. in 2000. I have two Associate's Degrees, one in Fire Science from Lakeland Community College and the other in EMS from Cuyahoga Community College. I was promoted to Lieutenant in 2006, and made Captain in 2008. I'm currently assigned to Ladder 1 but function as an acting Platoon Chief about 40 tours annually. I work as a Fire Instructor for Auburn Career Center and Cuyahoga Community College. Instructing is proving to be very enjoyable since I learn from both the students and the other instructors. This job was here long before me and it will be here long after me, so while I'm here I hope to have a positive influence on those I have the opportunity work with and instruct. Stay safe everyone, and don't forget the basics!!!

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you, haven't checked this in a while. Took an Honor Guard class with 2 of your guys, one named Swope. Good guys. City says look for staffing cuts again in Jan. Hope all goes your way in Euclid. My cell is 440 391 9395 if you ever need any thing.
Stay safe,
