My entire adult lifetime I have been a public servant. I enlisted in the military out of high school and served over 20 years in active duty and the Army National Guard, with three combat deployments. I worked for St. Louis County for over 10 years in fiscal and grant management. I feel I have the knowledge and drive to get a long-term deal finalized for fire service.
