Certified Tutor
As a dedicated firefighter with the Chicago Fire Department for over 10 years, I bring real-world experience, discipline, and deep operational knowledge to every training environment. Throughout my career, I've responded to a wide range of emergency situations in one of the nation's busiest urban fire departmentsshaping my ability to lead, teach, and inspire.
I hold certifications in Hazmat Operations, Instructor I & II, Advanced Firefighting, Ropes Operations, VMO (Vehicle and Machinery Operations), and am an Advanced Open Water Diver (PADI). My passion lies not only in the field but in helping the next generation of firefighters, rescue personnel, and emergency responders gain the confidence and competence they need to excel. Whether you're just starting your journey or looking to advance your skills, I'm committed to delivering hands-on, practical training rooted in experience and safety-first principles.

Outside of my career in firefighting and instruction, I’m passionate about physical fitness, technical rescue training, and outdoor adventure. I enjoy scuba diving, hiking, and exploring challenging environments that test both mental and physical endurance. I'm also an advocate for mentorship and spend time guiding others through career development in public safety fields. Whether it’s training, traveling, or learning new technical skills, I’m always pushing to grow and help others do the same.
