I have worn many hats, helmets and uniforms in my career. Cable guy, telephone lineman, police officer, firefighter, EMT, fire inspector, fire instructor, deputy chief, internship administrator, union steward, database administrator, marketing director and father. All enjoyed for the varied problem-solving challenges they provided and the opportunity to give service to others. I am the calm one who likes to chase solutions. I seek this in my hobbies also which include kayaking, blacksmithing, antique tractors, fishing, miniature modeling/wargaming, cooking and finding new ways to torment my family with new experiences and recipes.
