Top Issues Facing Responders:
Basic Skills. In the past years, I have seen so much specialized training around our department, but no basic skills. Basic skills save property and lives. Let's get back to the basics!
I Love Being in Fire/EMS Because:
The brother hood between everyone, and the rush you get!

About the Man, The Myth, and the Legend.

Well I'm a pretty simple pretty easy going guy. I work for the City of Bicknell at the Wastewater Plant (6 years), I also run the Plainville, IN Wastewater Plant (2 years). I work for Knox County EMS, McClure's Ambulance Service, as a Driver (on and off for 3 years).

I volunteer for Bicknell City Fire Department. Been there going on 6 years also. I am a First Responder, Basic Firefighter, and have HazMat Awareness and Ops. I have gone through all the NIMS training.

I have a wonderful understanding wife of 6 years. I have 3 beautiful little girls, 7, 5, and 3. That's me in a nutshell, if you need to know anything else, just message me!
