I was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and have spent 21 years in EMS as an EMT- Paramedic and Firefighter (1987-2008). I worked as a Police Officer for the Oakland Police Department since 2008 and retired in 2024. I have had an amateur radio license since high school, love the martial arts of Judo & Jiu-Jitsu, and lifting weights. I moved to the country and live on a ranch now.
