I am a husband and father of four young children. I had been involved in emergency services since I was eighteen. I ended my service as a Paramedic to spend more time with my family and live a more meaningful life. I am not an author. I initially wrote about my calls as a coping mechanism to deal with the stress I was facing. Although I did not like the path emergency services had taken my life, what I learned throughout my career ultimately changed me into who I am today. I wrote this book to share my experience in hopes it could help others in ways I may not yet understand.
