About Me:

I love going from 0-60 in a matter of seconds. I'm generally easy going but when those tones go off I'm ready to roll with a full tank of adrenaline. I even find myself getting down if I go without a call for very long. Can you say- Junky?

Day Job:

Full time EMT for my department.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I'm an adrenaline junky. Helping people who are probably having one of the worst days of their life helps me to appreciate my life all the more.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Adrenaline
