I progressed up through the ranks to Assistant Fire Chief while earning my Paramedic certifi- cation. During this time I was working in a Lumber Mill and raising a family in Madras, Oregon. Concurrently I worked part time for Warm Springs Fire & Safety as a Firefighter / Paramedic to gain experience. After ten years with Jefferson County Fire, I took a career position with Black Butte Fire as the Assistant Fire Chief. I worked there as a Chief Officer Paramedic for almost 17 years before taking the Fire Chief’s job in Oakridge Oregon. I was there for 6 ½ years before taking the Chief’s position in Warrenton. I am really enjoying the Fire Department and the Community of Warrenton. We have a great group of very dedicated volunteers who provide excellent Fire and Medical services to their community. They also provide Christmas food baskets and toys to those in need during the holidays.
