Years of public service:: 8

Areas of expertise:: Areas of interest/passion: Fog Tactics, Rope Rescue

Bio:: Started my fire career in Fort Worth, TX. Served there for a little over three years until my wife got a job offer that was to god to turn down. We moved to Tennessee in late 2002 when I secured a position with Franklin only to find the Codes department had done an excellent job in making the town apparently fire proof.
While I do miss fighting actual fires, it has given me the opportunity to extend my education. I am about a year away from completing my B.S. in Fire Science.
