As the founding consultant, my career includes over 20 years involvement in developing     9-1-1 Communication Systems, 22 years’ experience with Fire and Rescue Departments & Emergency Medical services, and 22 years of service in military operations.

I have had the opportunity to master many skills in the Public Safety arena since joining the ranks of a local EMS system in the 1970’s.
