Captain for 6 years assigned to the following locations: Fs58 (Ladera Heights), Fs24 (Palmdale) and currently Fs126 (Santa Clarita)

Was initially hired by a smaller Department, so I understand both large and small Department operations. Started this program and podcast as a way to give back for all that was given to me to guide and mold who I am today in the FIre Service.
