About Me

I am one-third of the WTCS Fire Education and Training Team.  The “team” administers testing, certification and accreditation for all fire fighters in the state.   We work closely with students, in-state and out-of-state fire fighters, fire chiefs, and members of various fire service organizations near and far.

I work closely with Shari Jacobson and Ward Lyon to support the Fire Service Training and Certification Program within Division of Educational Services at the WTCS Office.
