I’m a writer and firefighter living in Birmingham, AL. I regularly contribute to FireRescue1.Com and in 2018 I spoke at TEDxBirmingham.

With this blog, I am challenging myself to produce one personal essay per month for the next year. I am calling this collection, “Stories I wrote to make my Mamma cry.” Because the best ones always do.
