- About Me:
- I have been in the fire service since I was 14, doing wildland since Iwas 16, I specialize in Wildland but still do structural and some ems ( I dont like medicals). I am a father of four , in the process of a divorce . not much caring to be in Colorado anymore, was foreced into leaving my department by people who have no clue of the brother hood or workings of a fire department. I hope the people who live inthe district have the guts to stand up to them and say enough is enough.
- Day Job:
- Parts and Service ,Truck Equipment Manufacture.
- Side Jobs or Other Organizations:
- I work inthe Truck Equipment field and throw Darts as a stress reliever
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- Lack of Training , Department Fire boards that dont care and want to run departments like a good old boys club or like it is their own little dynasty.
- I Love Being in Fire/EMS Because:
- I like the challenge of Wildland fire, I want to see my department oerate at the safest and best trained level that I can.
