Born and raised here in the DFW Metroplex of Texas. My firefighting career includes both career departments of Town of Pantego Fire and Plano Fire Department and volunteer services with Rendon Fire Department over a 35-year time frame. I have had the pleasure of serving at multiple ranks throughout my career in both spectrums of the fire service from firefighter to Fire Chief in the volunteer sector, to my current rank of firefighter / paramedic at Plano. During my tenure in Plano, I have served as the Fleet Coordinator, in that position I was responsible for working with the shop on daily repairs and issues. Another responsibility was to work on the specifications and build teams to ensure that all areas had input for the design such as Ops, Shop etc. The last area with equipment was the purchasing of the equipment/apparatus.
I have been working with Daco for a year and a half working primarily with the specifications of the apparatus assisting the sale staff with getting the apparatus built to the wants and desires of the departments. My knowledge of the products which includes small equipment up to the specifications of the apparatus has all come from my time within the fire service.
On my days off, I enjoy spending time with my family. This includes motorcycle rides with my wife as well as watching my daughter compete or perform with her horses in barrel races, high school rodeos, and other equestrian events.
