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.
