52 yo, happily married for 25 years, 3 kids, 1 boy & 2 girls ages 24, 22 & 20;. I was born and raised in San Diego, CA. I worked for Price Club/Costco for 11 years before transitioning at 35 yo to the fire department. My family and I love the outdoors, camping, rock climbing and whatever adventure life throws our way.

I struggled with alcohol for a long time and have been sober for over 9 years. With the help of God, family and friends I was able to break free from the grip alcohol had on me. I want to be available to the vast firefighter family to share my story and maybe help someone break free as well.
