I am a Captain with South Iredell Fire-Rescue and a full time safety professional in both general industry and construction. I have experience in fire suppression/fire protection with an AAS in Fire Protection Technology from Mitchell Community College and currently hold certification as a Structural Firefighter I&II (IFSAC) , Instructor I&II (IFSAC), Emergency Medical Technician (NCOEMS), Rescue Technician (IFSAC), Wildland Firefighter II (NWCG), Wildland Fire Assessment Program TTT through NVFC and Instructor with Preparing for Wildfires with FIRESCAPING – Master Gardener Training.

Currently I am working with community members in our district to coordinate, plan and conduct prescribed burns in a safe manner in order to meet their land objectives while at the same time capturing fuels reduction goals. I am looking to connect with others that have implemented programs in their jurisdiction and learn how to better implement FAC Programs in my area.
