As a firefighter, physical performance is a must. My ability to perform can mean the difference in life or death for myself my crew and the people I serve. I have always been physically fit and healthy finding peace in the gym. The gym has always been a place to forget about my worries and better myself for every day life. As a soon to be father , being physically fit to be able To play and run with my child until one day I can still run and play with my grandchildren.

I have many different venues for training , I love hitting the gym to move some iron, but I also enjoy running biking and hit circuits with fellow firefighters and gym rats. During the summer myself and fiance enjoy hiking and swimming and just being outdoors.

If I won the 20,000 dollars we would put into a savings for a down payment on a house. With my wife being a stay at home mom to raise our child, I work 3 jobs as a career firefighter, volunteer firefighter and run a mechanical division fixing and repairing fire apparatus. This keeps us fairly busy but we work as team conquering life’s challenges and staying fit together. The 20k would be an amazing help in building our family’s future.
