About Me
I was raised in a nomadic lifestyle ever since my father joined the Army when I was only six years old. “Born in the North, but raised in the South.” I have lived in many places; Arizona, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida, Pennsylvania, and even Germany. I graduated from Big Rapids High School, Big Rapids Michigan in 1992 and joined the Navy the same year. I served on the USS Constellation (CV-64) from 1993-1997 where I did two tours in the Persian Gulf enforcing the “no-fly” zones working on the flight deck as an aircraft handler, firefighter, and ship’s security augmentation force. My next duty station was at Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Milton, Florida from 1997 to 2000. While I was there, I was designated as Aircraft Crash-Fire-and-Rescue Crewman; Structural Firefighter; Operations Duty Driver; and transient aircraft handling. I also volunteered on the Skyline Fire and Rescue District Inc. as a volunteer firefighter in the city of Milton. It was while volunteering at Skyline that I caught the “EMS Bug”. I received my initial Medical First Responder training there; and then went on to obtain my EMT-Basic at Pensacola Jr. College. Soon thereafter, I separated from the military with an honorable discharge, and moved back “home” to Michigan. I became a Security Guard with Pinkerton Security Services while awaiting state certification for EMT-B. I worked at Metropolitan Hospital, where I received an Officer of the Month award. I then transferred to a Delphi automotive factory as a guard with responsibilities on the Industrial Fire Brigade. Once EMT-B certification was obtained, I started working for Life EMS Ambulance Service in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I started out as a wheelchair van driver while attending paramedic school. Once I became a paramedic, I rose through the ranks quickly to become a Level II (Senior) medic; Field Trainer; and then Critical Care Paramedic. I was also the founding member of my company's Bike Team. In 2007, I decided to transfer from the metro division to the more rural operations where I still work as a Critical Care Paramedic. I also finished my Associates in Business last year while working full time, raising a family, and coaching my son’s youth soccer team. I came upon FireLink.com while researching the job market through www.monster.com and quickly became very active. I was soon asked to become a moderator and took the responsibility pro bono. As of October 1st, 2008 I have become the Director of EMS at Moore County Hospital District based in Dumas (pronounced doo-mus) in Moore County Texas. I have been married for 15 years to my high school sweetheart, Erin. We have two boys; Alex (11) and Tyler (9). My hobbies and interests include playing guitar; XBOX and XBOX 360 with my son Alex. (He beats the pants off of me, playing Halo and the Guitar Hero series!) While my son Tyler and I like to spend time watching cartoons like SpongeBob SquarePants and Fairly Odd Parents. I also enjoy movies ranging in taste from the Star Wars Saga, Harry Potter, to Comedies from Steve Correll, Dane Cook, and Jeff Dunham.
