My YouTube Channel
Launched in June of 2023, my YouTube channel rapidly gained over 1 million views on just the first 4 videos. With over 22,000 subscribers and counting, my global audience continues to grow.
In 2020 the official fire district YouTube channel I manage and content create for became the first ever to gain over 100,000 subscribers and earn a silver play button award from the platform.

With over 20 years experience in the fire service, I'm also a published author in FireEngineering Magazine and have instructed social media classes at various venues across the United States.
