I am a fire engineer and acting officer for Loveland Fire Rescue Authority in Loveland, Colorado since 2008. LFRA is a municipal, all-hazards fire department who also provides ARFF coverage for the Northern Colorado Regional Airport. I have served as the lead ARFF engineer for LFRA & NoCo Regional since 2018, have been certified ARFF since 2017. As a member of the ARFFWG since 2018, I've been the State of Colorado ARFFWG Representative since 2020, and have been an editor for the ARFFWG News for the past year.

There is so much we can all learn from each other, whether it's our amazing larger airports leading us nationally, or it is one person who responds solo on an ARFF truck after mowing or snowplowing. I am deeply committed to the ARFF Working Group and look forward to our continued friendships and mentorships.
In my personal life, I have been married to my college sweetheart for 35 years. We have two sons, one of who is a professional baseball player and one who became a firefighter with his mama! We have a beautiful daughter in law, two precious granddaughters, and two fur-baby Labradors.
