Summation_____________________________

I have 23 year background in Medical Services beginning in 1985 as a Combat Medical Specialist in the military. In this time I have gained experience in both county and hospital based systems, worked with ground and air transport services and been deployed to large scale incidents where I have served in both Operational and Command roles. I have supervisory experience and consider myself to have strong leadership skills as well as excellent “people skills”.

My work background also includes experience in home health care, fire and safety inspections and current employment with two community colleges (LCCC & CFCC) as an adjunct instructor for their EMS programs.
