Me and my wife are both native oregonians, moving
here from Corvallis 10 years ago. WE are both volunteer
firefighters for SVFR with Russell getting his EMT-B last
summer and Trisha currently in class for hers. We enjoy
outdoor activities such as fishing, hunting, beachcombing,
clamming, crabbing, and mushrooming. In our free time we
spoil our two furry kids, Bo & Daisy!
I am new to Western Lane Ambulance as of March 2016. I
have been a volunteer firefighter/EMT at Siuslaw Valley Fire/
Rescue since October 2010. I am also a contract Wildland
firefighter since 2013 and during the summer travel to large
fires around the Pacific Northwest.
I started as a volunteer firefighter in 2004 then
went back to school to obtain my EMT to better
serve the community, I have enjoyed volunteering
and working ever since.
