What is your favorite quote, saying, or motto?

“If you need something done right, you have to do it yourself.”

What is your greatest achievement in life so far?

I’ve done quite a bit, but raising my kids and watching them become smarter and stronger each day is pretty rewarding.

What is your #1 pet peeve?

I have a top 20, maybe 30, but laziness is up there. Don’t get me wrong I love relaxing, but I can’t stand slackers.

What is your most memorable moment in your EMS career?

I’ve been involved in EMS and Fire for 18 years. I’ve been to a lot of classes, a few expos in the US, and have met a lot of awesome role models. Though a few stand out, there’s no sole memory, the memories are countless.

What is your favorite movie or play?

Super Troopers or My Cousin Vinny. Can’t really go wrong with any Comedy or Action movie.

What would constitute a perfect EMS crew member?

Someone that knows how to have a good time but still knows when it’s time to work, has a good work ethic, good customer service, and works hard with you.

What is your best kept secret?

I would say that my best kept secret is still a secret, good try though.

What would you consider your worst habit?

Worst habit is never sitting still, even after work I feel like there’s always something that needs to be done.

Who is your greatest inspiration in your life?

My kids and family, I do everything for them and always push to succeed to teach my children to never give up.

What is your favorite food item?

Probably wings, or anything that’s barbeque really. Can’t forget Baja Blast and Redbull.

What would be considered luxury to you?

Most people think fancy cars. I’m easy, put me next to a campfire with family, friends and cold beer and I’ll be happier than ever. Oh and S’mores

If you could meet anyone in the history of the world, who and why?

Anyone who Signed the Declaration of Independence because, well, Merica.

What would your epitaph say?

I’ll settle for my name and the years I was alive. I’m not so worried about the years themselves, but more the dash in between because that’s what holds the memories.

What is your favorite type of music?

I’ll listen to just about anything, but I grew up on 80s/90s Country.

Where would you like to grow old?

In a cabin in the middle of the woods, surrounded by nature and my family.
