Fun Fact: My favorite part about being a fire investigator is the challenge of seeking out every available data point regarding a particular loss and using that information to help discover the events that caused that fire to occur. Because of my background in the fire service, I am very empathetic to those who have suffered a loss and I take pride in working thoroughly and efficiently to help them recover from the loss as fast as reasonably possible.

Fun Fact: When I first started searching for a career, I wanted to be a welder and machinist. I did that for a few years and went into the construction field before I transitioned into the fire service. Now, it's my passion to take a fire clack and dissect it to determine the area of origin and then possibly the cause of the fire.
