Bio
I joined the Fire department after transferring to UVM and moving back to Essex Junction. I was looking for a way to serve my community. Since the September night that I joined, I have had the pleasure to work with some of the greatest men and women I know.

When I am not Volunteering with the Fire Department I work full time for the Vermont Army National Guard. Working for the Fire Department and the National Guard allows me to interact with my community and State. In doing so I also get to work some of the hardest working and most dedicated individuals who are willing to put in the physical work that comes with supporting your community not just the verbal.
