I started my career as a volunteer with Boardman Fire and Rescue and then was hired full time and worked my way through the ranks to Captain/Training Officer which I held for 9 years. I am a certified Oregon EMT-Intermediate graduated from Blue Mountain with my AAS in Fire Science and Finished up my BA in Fire Administration from Eastern Oregon. I was a member and President of the Oregon Fire Training Association. I was hired with Mid-Columbia Fire Rescue in 2021 and have worked through the ranks from Firefighter, Lieutenant, and now currently Division Chief assigned to training. I love all water sports and spend my off-time golfing, jet skiing, and doing dog sports with my dogs.
