years of professional experience
After my brief time as a firefighter in the USAF, i worked various jobs until settling into towing and recovery. The industry has been great to me. Though i find fulfillment in my current career, i have always had a deep desire to get back into firefighting. Over the past year i have put in the work to make that dream a reality once again. I ask your consideration to allow me to bring my life experience and dedication to your department.
