About Me:

I have been in the fire service for five years. I attended the Arkansas fire academy in October of 2006 where I was unable to finish due to a knee injury. I had surgery in January of 2007 and im back in service. I try and learn as much as I can when I can so that I can improve my self as a firefighter and man. I hope for one day years down the rode to become a fire chief of a dept. for now I will just go out and do my job and prevent my fellow FF from getting hurt.
