Summary

My operational experience as a senior firefighter across various incidents, along with my qualifications in areas such as incident command , aerial operator, technical rescue and hazardous materials response positions me to provide exceptional leadership as a Station Officer.

My roles as senior and junior football coach, president of a lifesaving club, and elite-level football player has shaped my dedication to teamwork, leadership, and service to others. These roles have instilled a deep commitment to supporting individuals and teams in achieving their goals.

While maintaining functional fitness is a big part of my life I believe it is essential for the responsibilities of a Station Officer and look forward to inspiring my crew to be fit and health.
