Hometown: San Diego, CA

Why FFAid: Because it’s unlike any other Fire Department group. The goal is to help in times of need and not worry about political issues. We look out for our brothers and sisters who sometimes just need a helping hand.

A person who inspires you the most:

My grandfather, he always has a heart for helping others and sticking up for what is right. He loves my grandmother, our family, and his friends with all his heart.

How do you give back: I volunteer with the San Diego Fire Cadet program as an advisor. I help show high school kids what the job of Firefighting is all about. They participate in ride alongs, drills, and a weeklong academy during the summer. 

Tell us something about yourself: I’m just getting into woodworking, I really enjoy the challenge of it, and have made a few of the furniture pieces in my house, just don’t look at them too closely.
