- Bio:
- I am 25 years old and have been involved in the fire service for 10 years. My fire experience started out with the Greenawalds Fire/Rescue in Allentown, PA. I am still actively involved with Greenawalds who is the primary Rescue Company for South Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. After graduating from Drexel University in Philadelphia with a B.S. in Architectural Engineering and returning home to Allentown for a short time, my full time job had me transferred to Fishkill, NY for a year where I became a member of the Village of Fishkill Fire Department. Fishkill, NY is located about an hour's drive north of NYC and our primary focus is Truck Company and Rescue Operations. A recent transfer has again brought me back to Allentown, PA where I am contuning my service with Greenawalds as well as still maintaining an active status in Fishkill during my free time.
