Bio:: With nine and a half years of fire related experience between volunteer and paid departments, I have learned the value of public service and working as a team to achieve a goal. In my career, I continue to maintain a high level of motivation, not only personal, but also professionally with and by my coworkers to do our very best. I strive to attain the knowledge and skills needed to ensure the security and protection of not only myself, but that also of my crew and the communities where I serve. As a Senior Firefighter I have worked in place of Engineer on my shift when needed. I have driven and operated both our Engine and Ladder Truck for many different types of calls from medicals, multi vehicle collisions, to many types of fires. I have assisted with Company Business Inspections as well as sat in on interview boards for new hires. A few highlights of my career to date is I am part of the Mississippi Office of Homeland Security Task Force (MSTF-3) and as of August 2017 I was made my Shift Training Officer by my Shift Captain.
