Hometown: San Diego, CA 

Why FFAid: I am committed to the mission, vision, and core values of SDFRA, and I am eager to support the organizations efforts in improving the quality of care and services for firefighters and their families. With my background in fire protection technology, incident management, and my extensive involvement in department functions, I believe I can help drive meaningful change and contribute to the ongoing success of the SDFRA.

A person who inspires you the most: My wife Olivia, the motivation behind my actions, attitudes, and work ethic is fueled by the positive attitude and support she continually shows on an everyday basis. 

How do you give back: Throughout my career, I have had the honor of serving as a firefighter, academy instructor, and currently as a Captain at Station 4 in the Gaslamp. In addition to my role as a captain, I am an active member of several department initiatives, including the SDFD Cadet Program, the annual Toys for Tots drive, and our department’s sports club. I also serve on the Federal Incident Management Type 1 Team and have experience writing Incident Action Plans for major events, such as the 9/11 Memorial Stair climb and department funerals.    

Tell us something about yourself: I am a first-generation firefighter in my family, I love spending time with my family outdoors and taking trips when time permits and making memories with those I work with.
