About Me

On August 5th 2001 while responding to an emergency 911 call with my local volunteer rescue squad, my wife and I were forced off of the road. We hit a tree head on, I was driving. We were responding in a Jeep Cherokee. We struck a tree head on. My wife had borken her right arm, and right collar bone. My injuries were a little more severe. My left hip and broke in 3 places, and my right foot was shattered. After a year, and 3 surgeries, I made the decision that the right foot needed to be taken off, this was the only way I was going to be able to return to being a Paramedic, the only life I have known. In October of 2002, the foot was amputated, and I was on the road to getting back on an ambulance.
