About Me:

I am 34 years old and I'm very laid back and easygoing and I can get along with anyone, almost, I'm originally from Green Sea (about 30 minutes West of Myrtle Beach SC) because a lot of people are not familiar with where Green Sea is.I 've been fighting fire since I was 17 and can't think of a more exciting career.I like anything to do with Fire,firefighting,rescue,hazardous materials,rope rescue, confined space rescue and for the last 10 years I 've gone into fire investigation.Theres only a few things I like more than fighting fire, rescuing people, and saving lives. On my days off I can be found fighting fire with Tabor City Fire Department across the line in Columbus County NC.I've also done Fire/Rescue for International Paper Co in the past.I've found in the past, that you can never have too many friends.I enjoy talking to and meeting people, but not quite as much as helping people.
