I look forward to having you join me as you pursue your educational goals. I have over 30 years of experience in public safety.  My journey started as an EMT working for Pruner Ambulance in Malibu, CA.  After attending Daniel Freeman Paramedic School, I spent 4 years as a paramedic with Gold Coast Ambulance in Oxnard, CA.  I was fortunate to be hired as a police officer for the City of Santa Barbara where I served the community for two years. I missed the emergency medicine aspect which is what led me to lateral to the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety. I spent the final 24 years of my career with RPDPS. The final 12 years were spent working within the fire division where I retired as the Deputy Fire Chief. I’m certain my extensive background will help guide you with your career path.
