Background: Have been in the Fire Service for 23 years, working for a large Department in Southern CA.(Los Angeles County Fire) Spent 14 years as a Firefighter/Paramedic (La Habra FD 5 years, LACoFD 9 years) assigned to the following locations: Fs28 (Whittier), Fs7 (West Hollywood), Fs134 (Lancaster), Fs14 (Athens/Westmont). 

Engineer for 2 years assigned to the following locations: Fs126 (Santa Clarita), Fs14 (Athens/Westmont)

Captain for 7 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.
