I'm Robert Seth Riddlebarger, a dedicated professional with a passion for public service and leadership. Currently, I serve as a Lieutenant/Paramedic at Delaware County EMS, where I've been privileged to grow within the organization.My educational journey includes earning a Master of Public Administration Degree from Ohio University, Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Service, achieving a perfect 4.0 GPA. Complementing this, I hold a Bachelor of Science in Fire Administration Degree from Bowling Green State University and an Associate of Applied Science in Emergency Medical Services Degree from Columbus State Community College.Over the past two decades, my career has been defined by a commitment to public service. I started in the private sector, managing operations at a biodiesel manufacturing company before transitioning to elected office. I served two terms on Logan City Council, gaining valuable experience in governance and leadership. Additionally, I managed two significant political campaigns for Ohio Statehouse Representative and United States Congressional races.Now, as a paramedic and Lieutenant, I've set my sights on the role of department chief within a fire or EMS department. My educational background and future MPA will be instrumental in achieving this goal. However, I'm also open to exploring other avenues in public administration, such as city management.My unique blend of academic rigor, integrity, empathy, and critical thinking, coupled with diverse work experiences, positions me as a strong candidate for leadership roles in the public sector. I look forward to the exciting opportunities the future holds in my journey of service and leadership.
