I finish Paramedic school April 19th, 2014.... FINALLY!

It has been a long road (becoming a FF-Paramedic) since I took the first step in 2008 in becoming a First Responder to becoming an EMT, then working as an EMT, getting onto two Fire Departments (Elfin Forest Harmony Grove Fire Department and Cal Fire/San Diego County Fire Authority Campo #46, graduating from Cal Fire Academy #14, and to going to Paramedic school at Elkhart General Hospital Education Center in Goshen, Indiana on January 2nd, 2013.  With a wife and three kids, it hasn't been easy to make my career shift from 18 years in Education as a Teacher, Coach, Advisor, and Dean of Students, to applying for jobs as a FF-Paramedic or Program Director of an EMS/Fire Science program at the College/University level.  But the dream is becoming a reality for me.  I am scheduled to graduate from Medic school on April 19th, 2014!  Many thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way!
