I started my EMS career in 1986 when I was a college student in Northern Vermont. After becoming an EMT, I realized that this was the job for me. I became a paramedic in 1990. I worked for the private ambulance service until I became a Firefighter/Paramedic for the City Of Easthampton in 1995. Every day is different, which makes my job exciting, and makes me look forward to coming to work every day.

Appointed in 1998, I am one of the newest members of the Easthampton Fire Department and a recent graduate of the Mass. Fire Academy (Class 132). I spend my spare time with my wife Betsy, golfing and reading.

Dave has been working with the Fire Service since 1984. Along with being the Emergency Medical Services Coordinator, he serves on the Mass. Emergency HAZ-MAT Team, is the Department Communications Officer, and supervises a shift of firefighters.

I have enjoyed working for the Easthampton Fire Department and for the people of Easthampton for the past 24 years. My position is Ladder 1 Operator. I enjoy all types of outdoor hobbies like fishing, hunting, and nature watching. I also enjoy cooking and traveling (Alaska is my favorite). I'm a big Pro-Football and College Basketball fan. My wife, Betty Ann, is a teacher at W.B.M.S. We have two children, Jill and Alex.

I have been working for The Town since October 1987 and then upgraded to EMT-I in 1992. Off-duty, I keep busy with my wife Maureen and our two daughters, Bethany and Colleen. In my spare time, I enjoy working with computers.
