Bio:: Started at the University Fire as a student in 1996 after my room mates bet me I couldn't pass the agility test. The rest was history. My old man was a wildland fireman for 30 years so a similar career fit. Bounced around the sate for a few years but finally found my way home to UFD as a Captain. Have since moved on to a Lieutenant at Fort Wainwright. Loving it!
