This class is so much fun, because I have some really awesome real life stories about my days in the Coast Guard. I will show pictures, along with some awesome videos, and share some amazing stories. If students have a lot of questions, and want to learn more about the U.S. Coast Guard, I normally will not mind going beyond the 40 minutes, as long as the parent is ok with this. I look forward to meeting with you, and can't wait to teach your student(s) about my favorite branch of the military! Mr. O

I have years of experience working in emergency management, and disaster preparedness.
I was a fire fighter/first responder for 10 years with the Cy-Fair Fire Department in Houston, TX USA. I also worked with the US Coast Guard for nearly 5 years, where my primary duties were law enforcement, search and rescue, and logistics.
In the Coast Guard I was part of the District 7 Hurricane Emergency Assistance Response Team, where I helped families prepare for, and recover from hurricanes.
I have also been an incident commander on multiple disasters, and have most if not all ICS (Incident Command System) courses.
