After High School I went on to get my degree in Surgical technology,
working as a forest firefighter during the summers. Shortly into my
employment at Grande Ronde Hospital in LaGrande, I realized how much I missed being in the outdoors and returned to school to obtain my Paramedic certificate. Several years later in that field, I tested for a Fire Department position and have been employed as an Apparatus Operator/Paramedic for the past 17 years. Yes, God does have a sense of humor as the station I worked at for many years was right next to LaSalle. A recent transfer has me now housed at our Oak Lodge station in the Oak Grove area.
During this time I married a farmer and reside near Albany, Oregon where we spend much of our time.
I have continued in athletics, winning local triathlons in the 90’s and
competing in Ironman distances, but mainly ride my bike now in endurance races, where I hold a 12 hour time trial record in California.
