What do you enjoy most about your work or volunteer service?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No two days are the same \u2014 and it\u2019s rewarding getting to help people at what may possibly be their worst time of need. The opportunity to teach and instruct others [in emergency service skills] has [also] been absolutely amazing. The field is always advancing \u2014 there\u2019s always new protocols, and the CPR organization, the American Heart Organization, is always putting out new continuing education and ways to do life-saving interventions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can you share a moment or experience that made you especially proud?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0Early recognition is in everything I do. There are activations we can make as a provider that sometimes truly make a difference in the life-saving interventions that a patient will receive. These two activations are called stroke activation and myocardial infarction activation, when a patient is either suffering from a neurological emergency like a stroke or suffering a severe heart attack \u2014 the sooner we realize those symptoms, the sooner we make those activations and then transport patients to a higher care facility or helicopter them to a higher care facility. I\u2019ve had [to make] several activations over the years \u2014 two in the last month, one stroke and one myocardial fraction activation \u2014 and those make me especially proud, especially in hearing the final outcome of the patient.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What and\/or who has influenced or inspired the way you serve others?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve got four children [my] two 13-year-old girls have expressed interest in coming to the squad and learning what the equipment is and what life-saving measures they provide a patient. I\u2019ve brought them along to wash trucks with me or clean up the station or help with fundraisers, and they love being at the rescue squad e \u2014 I see both girls getting involved in the field in the near future, and that inspires me more than anything, knowing that they have such a bright, promising future in this if they decide to pursue it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, my late father, who was a truck driver for the Pepsi Cola Company, actively volunteered for an organization in this county called God\u2019s Pit Crew \u2014 they provide disaster relief [in the case of] major storms, earthquakes, hurricanes and things like that. My dad had all kinds of trophies [when I was] growing up \u2014 [things like] \u2018Most Miles Driven\u2019 because he had his CDL [license]. He drove supplies to these disaster relief areas. Seeing him drive as a volunteer outside of work really inspired me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Hero-Bio-Social-\u0393Co-18-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Hero-Bio-Social-\u0393Co-18-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Hero-Bio-Social-\u0393Co-18-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Hero-Bio-Social-\u0393Co-18-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Hero-Bio-Social-\u0393Co-18-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Hero-Bio-Social-\u0393Co-18-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Hero-Bio-Social-\u0393Co-18-360x360.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Hero-Bio-Social-\u0393Co-18.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s one thing you wish more people knew about the work you do or the people you serve?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I spend a lot of time away from home and away from my family, so that definitely makes it hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[I would also say that I wish people knew] the risk that we take on a day-to-day basis when we get in these ambulances and\/or fire trucks. We may not know what we\u2019re responding to at the time, and it\u2019s dangerous to be responding to those emergencies. I just ask that everybody slow down and move over for lights and sirens, please.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>If you could give one message of encouragement to your community, what would it be?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Love one another. In this day and age, there\u2019s so much hate and crime, and you don\u2019t know what somebody else is going through \u2014 so love one another.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, volunteers are needed \u2014 we\u2019re in short supply. Visit your local fire departments, your rescue squads and ask them if they need anything. Even if you know blood and gore is not your thing, maybe you can help out for a benefit or fundraiser or something like that \u2014 so definitely stop into your local organizations and inquire about how you can help out today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognition in emergencies can be pivotal \u2014 a patient can be considered braindead after six minutes without oxygen and with the time we\u2019re dispatched until we can respond, six minutes can be gone really quickly \u2014 so starting CPR and life-saving first aid really helps us along the way. Ask your school or local fire squad if they offer CPR&nbsp; \u2014 get in a CPR class if nothing else.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>If you were a piece of furniture, what would you be \u2014 and why?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I would want to be a recliner \u2014 because how can you be sad when you\u2019re in a recliner? I aspire daily to bring that kind of joy in other people\u2019s lives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you have any \u201ccore furniture memories\u201d? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a piece of furniture that I inherited from my late father\u2019s passing in 2021. There was a couch in my father\u2019s living room that I took and made a memorial room for him and other deceased relatives \u2014 I\u2019ve got a bunch of his trophies displayed over the years there, and sometimes I\u2019ll lay on that couch and reflect on his accomplishments and it comforts me in the moment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In your opinion \u2014 what\u2019s the <em>best<\/em> way to build a furniture fort?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve got to have stability \u2014 you can lay cushions on top of cardboard so it doesn\u2019t cave in.
