He has a Master\\u2019s Degree in Public Administration from the University of Central Florida and is a Major in the Air Force Reserve. He has served in some of the busiest stations in Orange County and he was one of the people who helped me develop the curriculum for OC\\u2019s leadership program. He has served in leadership positions throughout his time in the Air Force and Air Force Reserve. He is a veteran of the war\\u2019s in Iraq and Afghanistan. As an active duty officer, he has been deployed 3 times; Afghanistan, Niger, and JPED (Joint Personnel Effects Depot) in Aberdeen, Maryland.

He is an amazing leader and a humble man who serves as an example for many men and women within the fire service and the armed forces.
