- About Me:
- I'm a pretty laid back guy but I have a deep passion for firefighting, I believe it to be one of the most honorable and rewarding jobs any person can have. When I'm not working with the fire department I am an auto parts specialist for an auto service center.

- I get to help people in a time of need
