About
A native of Tempe, Arizona, I have devoted my life to protecting, serving, and saving lives. I am
dedicated and highly motivated, with proven team leadership skills and the ability to maintain public
relations. I have worked in developing nations as a firefighter, emergency medical technician, combat
paramedic, and fire instructor for fire fundamentals & inspection, and taught construction safety courses as a
safety representative. During my experiences, the most meaningful time I have spent was keeping people
safe during the aiding and rebuilding of Iraq. I participated in other meaningful experiences such as
fire inspections, air monitoring, air sampling, confined spaces, ergonomic learning, hazardous materials
at an operations level with communication, and process safety management evaluations. My affiliation
with health and safety has spanned 17 years providing experience with a variety of roles all pertaining to
preserving occupational life, emergency management, safety, and health.
