Summary

Dynamic and results-driven Paramedic with extensive experience at AMR, excelling in advanced life support and critical decision-making. Proven track record in enhancing patient outcomes through effective documentation and emergency management. Skilled in training and mentoring, fostering team collaboration to optimize care delivery in high-pressure situations.


I have a passion for EMS. It has been my life for 25 years. I have worked in all areas of EMS and in my opinion I have excelled in them. From being an EMT basic all the way to becoming a Flight Paramedic. I learned countless skills along the way and have enjoyed all of the moments I have experienced. As the EMS Coordinator, I encountered a whole new view on EMS as a whole and alongside the EMS Medical Director, we improved the system and implemented many new protocols. I supervised many First Responders, EMT's, and Paramedics in my system. I was fair and held everyone to the standard without favoritism.
