In 1998 I began doing EMS and immediately developed a passion for it. After a few years I decided I want to do more, so I enlisted in the Army as a 68W (Medic) shortly after I deployed to Iraq as a line medic and Senior Medic with 10th MTN 2-14IN. After Active duty I joined the Reserves as a 68W Instructor. Now I teach tactical medicine with Tac-Med Education, back doing EMS and run as a tactical medic leader.
