Bio:

I was a firefighter in Greenville, Ohio for 25 years. After retirement I was appointed to the Ohio Fire Marshal's office where I was a hazmat technician for the Northwest Area of Ohio serving 27 counties in response and training. I am now the exercise coordinator for the Ohio Department of Health. Moving to public health has allowed me to bring the training and information from the fire service in ICS and exercises to the health arena to help public health work as a responder in the age of terrorism and other public health threats. I hold the Master Exercise Practioner Certificate from the Emergency Management Institute at Emmitsburg, Maryland and currently serve as an adjunct instructor at the school. I also serve as an adjunct instructor for the Oho Fire Academy and the University of Findlay.
