Medically retired fire chief - since December 31, 2014. On 7/2/2014, I suffered an on-the-job, near-fatal, traumatic head injury, and nearly became a LODD.
The on-duty incident left me with severe PTSD and two serious Traumatic Brain Injuries. In the 10+ years since this incident, I have greatly struggled with Suicidal Ideation, PTSD, self-loathing, poor life-choices, anxiety, depression, etc. It is time to share my journey of recovery and survival. I have learned to #strugglewell.
I had a 30 year Fire Service Career, 10 as Fire Chief, spanning two states, and four departments,
(Northwest Fire - Tucson, AZ, Sedona Fire District, AZ, Hemet CA, Murrieta CA.)
Credentials: AA, BS, MA, EFO, CFOD x 6, Ironman Triathlete & Certified Ironman Coach.
