I have been blessed to have been able to spend my entire life in military and public service accounting for 34 years with memories and experiences in both urban and rural service delivery models. My primary passions lie in the Fire and EMS arena, and I believe that it is our responsibility to invest in our future responders to ensure continuity of high-quality service to the communities we serve. As a career student, I enjoy teaching and learning through training programs for both Fire and EMS. I invest heavily in leadership development and am currently involved in both state and national level programs to invest in our future leaders in the industry. I joined OCESD4 approximately a year ago as a volunteer Firefighter/Paramedic and I consider myself fortunate to work with my fellow brothers and sisters serving this community. To recharge, I enjoy weightlifting, reading, and spending time with my wife and kids.
