My Personality

I love to joke around and make people laugh, sometimes at my expense but hey if it makes you smile Im all for it. Around the firehouse I become serious, and terms like "Brotherhood" and "Tradition" still mean something to me. I respect my elders and my officers, but on the same token they need to KEEP that respect by doing their jobs professionally and treating others with the same respect. I take training seriously and go above and beyond in all matters of training...If there isnt anything going on in my dept, I LOOK for it elsewhere.
I love my family, and I am a traditional family man, close family and friends are a big part of my life and always come first.

I Believe...
That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything.
