BioI am continually looking for the next challenge, the next inspiring project, the next opportunity to serve others, and ensure a safer community to live and thrive. With a wide breadth of experience as both an entrepreneur and an emergency responder, I use the later skill set to develop emergency operation plans, goals, and achievable, measurable, and results-oriented goals. I’ve been told I have a philosophy for getting the most from any task I am given. My interest in emergency management began with my volunteer membership with Team Rubicon (TR). TR is a non-profit veteran lead disaster response. As a result of this association, I have amassed a wealth of knowledge, both practical (hands-on) as-well-as academic. The skills I have honed over my time with Team Rubicon and the city of Glendale, CA is focused on preparedness, safety, structure, and ingenuity..
