About Me

I started volunteering for my college ambulance in 1991. Got my EMT in 1992, EMT-Critical Care in 1998.In 1999, I decided to make EMS my career and began working at Stony Brook, a level 1 trauma center with a critical care transport team.
I became certified as a Paramedic in 2000. In 2003, I began flying for Stony Brook with the Suffolk County Police Department Aviation Section.
I have worked several per-diem jobs as a first response/fly car paramedic.
I recently moved to Pennsylvania where I now work for York Hospital EMS doing 911. No flying for now but hopefully that will change in the future.
