Kyle brings over a decade of experiences from his years as a Firefighter/Paramedic in which he not only fought fires and provided emergency care for the injured, but also conducted training, served on the city’s Safety Committee and was an advocate for the annual Fire Safety Awareness program, where he organized demonstrations for the public. Since his move to the safety field, Kyle has been working toward a BA in Occupational Safety and Health and will graduate later this year.
