Bio:

I started as a cadet when I was 13 yoa, at the Cowenton Volunteer Fire Co.(now known as the White Marsh Vol. Fire Co.) in Baltimore County MD, where I grew up began riding when I was 16 yoa. A few years later I would become an Engine Co. Lt(2 yr term). Through out the years I spent a short amount of time at the Rosedale, Owings Mills, and Reisterstown Vol. Co.'s all in Baltimore Co. I spent a few years at the Kentland Vol. Fire Dept. in Prince Georges Co MD. In 2005 I was hired by the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Dept, in MD, and currently assigned to Takoma Park, Engine Company 2, which is a half mile from the DC line and a half mile from the Prince Georges Co line. Up until about 18 months ago, I would call myself a truckie, but it seems I have had a change of heart. Beings that at work they moved the Ladder Co out of our house and in these 18 months, my volunteer Tower hasnt run over 300 runs, I have improved my skills, ability, and knowledge of the Engine Co. So now I just say I'm a 50/50 man.
