Bio:: I started my fire carreer as a volunteer at Munford Fire, learned the ropes fast and was offered a full time position after 1 and a half years. I quickly discovered i wanted to be a rescue "randy" i enjoy every aspect of rescue operations. After 2 years of full time service i was promoted to Lieutenant, started taking classes to be an instructor in several areas, and started training my department in firefighter survival. As a member of the command staff i wanted to ensure my crew i would do my best to make sure they were taken care of so i completed Smoke Diver and Rit and started a RIT Team to give my men the best chance of survival. I now continue to train everyday to better my carreer, Department and Crew.
