I started my firefighting career as a Call Man in Brattleboro, VT. in 1979. I spent several years as a U.S. Air Force Firefighter starting in 1980. In 1988, I was hired in Easthampton. Then, in April of 1997, I was promoted to Captain. Along with my duties as a Shift Commander, I serve as The Department's Training Officer and a S.A.F.E. instructor. Off duty, I enjoy fishing and golfing.
