Entrepreneur in Information Technology and Emergency Services I started my career after high school opening a small business in Information Technology which grew into a $500,000 a year company with very few employees. I have consulted with major Fortune 500 Companies in various IT projects all over the East Coast, gaining valuable experience and helping push along major projects these firms were implementing. Separately my love for Emergency Services started at the age of 14, through the Boy Scouts Explorer program, eventually earning my certification as a New York State Fire Instructor and have been in the Fire Service since I was 16 serving in 2 large departments in New York State and also for the New York State Urban Search and Rescue Team To complete a degree Emergency Services and Homeland Security I went back to college in 2011 and I am completing a degree in Emergency Management, while also obtaining my Paramedicine education in 2010-2011. My current companies bring together capabilities in Information Technology and Emergency Services to bring unique and strong services to our customers.
