I started the fire service in 1992 at a small volunteer department. In 1997 I was hired full time with Greenville.

I began hunting at the age of ten with my dad and grandfather. We mainly hunted small game. After getting hired at the fire department, I began hunting ducks and geese. Later the guys from the station got me hunting turkeys. Now that's my favorite!

I am married to my wonderful wife, Renee. We have two wonderful daughters; Kaylee who is 8 and Alexis who is 5. As a family we raise and show cattle.
