I am very happy to join the Hellsgate Fire Family. I started working part-time with Hellsgate on Oct. 1, 2020. At that time, I spent time with former Fire Chief John Wisner and learned a lot from him in only the one month that we served together as two Fire Chiefs for Hellsgate.
I have been welcomed by 5 very thoughtful Board Members, the Business Manager and my Operations crews and look forward to working with them.
My fire career started back in 1976 working as a volunteer Firefighter for the Town of Pima. I spent 2 years with them and left to go to serve in another country for 2 years. Upon my return, I rejoined the Pima Fire Dept. It was during this time I felt the need to do more than just be a fireman. I attended Eastern Arizona College and received my EMT certification. I moved on and in 1982, attended Phoenix College and became an IEMT, then worked on up to become a paramedic.
I worked for a very short time with Apache Junction Fire and then three years with Chandler Fire. I then worked for Phoenix Fire for 27 years. Afterwards, I worked for the Gila River Fire Department for a few years.
As I have come to work in Hellsgate, I have found friends and co-workers from the past. Tim O’Malley, Sam and Celeste Agnew and many other acquaintances have surfaced. I am glad to know them and to communicate with them.
As the Fire Chief, I am trying to make many strides to continue the improvement of our financial situation, work to get grants to purchase operational items that cannot be purchased out of our current budget and to communicate with our public safety partners. I look forward to serving the district, its members and the surrounding area.
