I have been married to a girl I've known since we were children, she was 5 and I was 9 when we met. I been married to Jackie since September 30, 1995 and when I married her she had two children, Matthew and Kristopher. They are 12 and 9 years old and all boy.
Now for a little about my fire company experience, I have been a member of one fire company or another since 1978 when I turned 16. They have included Kimberton, which I was a member for 15 years, Valley Forge as only a social member, Phoenixville Hose Hook and Ladder Company #1 for about 2 years, Liberty Steam Fire Engine Co #1, Spring City for 4 years and now I am a member of Friendship Fire Company #2 which is in the Royersford Fire Department. I was also a Chester County Deputy Fire Police Commissioner for about 4 years.
My training is, Basic Fire Police county and state, Advance Fire Police county and state, Emergency Operations for Fire Police County and state, Fire Police Leadership Levels 1 and 2 county and state Municipal EOC III for Radiological Emergency Response. There are also others that are too many to report on this page. All in all I have about 300 hours of training and still learning.
In my years in the fire service I have been any where from a fire fighter to fire police, from just an member of the unit to Training Officer, Lieutenant, Captain, to of course Deputy Fire Police Commissioner, and I have enjoyed every minute of being a Volunteer or as I call it, an Unpaid Professional.
