Welcome to Good Medicine In Bad Places!

Thirty years ago, I began my career in Public Safety as a police officer, starting in uniform patrol before taking the tactical path and becoming a SWAT officer.

Eleven years later, post 9/11, I made the jump to the fire service where I have continued to serve my community for nineteen years as a firefighter paramedic.

The majority my career has been in special operations in both police and fire.

For ten years I have served on our air rescue helicopter responding to primarily trauma calls, wildland firefighting, and search & rescue (SAR) missions affecting rescues from sinking vessels, cruise ships, airboats, kayaks, and hikers who have lost their way in our vast swamp region.

Through this channel, I hope to highlight the possibilities as a first responder, whether it is police, fire, or EMS. I would like to motivate aspiring or new first responders to set their goals high and share how we do things in our day-to-day operations. 🤙🏻
