I am a career firefighter/paramedic who has been working for the city for the past 17 years. From the very start of my career, I have always wanted to be in the field working with people who are motivated and want to make a difference in people's lives. Delray Beach Fire Rescue has provided me an avenue to that goal and has afforded me opportunities to grow. Now I am at the zenith of my career and feel that my appointed position allows me to make a difference in the day to day lives of our members. I have been fortunate to have a loving wife that understands the demands of my career and has cared for our two daughters while I have been on shift. I am proud of my girls who are becomming productive young women that are goal oriented.
