Hometown: Seattle, WA

Why FFAid:  One of my favorite parts of this job is the deeply-rooted sense of community and tradition. I feel indebted to my brothers and sisters of the fire service- those that came before me, and those I work alongside now. SDFRA works to help these individuals in some of the darkest moments of their lives. I cannot imagine a more worthy cause.

A person who inspires you the most: My In 2016, I became good friends with Captain Dave Kaiser of the Tacoma Fire Department, who was working part-time as a jump-plane pilot at the time. He is a hard working, skillful man of  few words, and someone that I greatly respect. He encouraged me to pursue a career in the fire service. I will always be extremely grateful for his service and encouragement.  

How do you give back: I am passionate about giving back to the community that has supported me. Serving as a board member with SDFRA allows me to dedicate my time and energy to helping others in their time of need. 

Tell us something about yourself:  I have a 60lb Staffordshire Bull Terrier that I absolutely adore.
