If your organization is in need of an emergency manager or the training to be one, I’m your guy. Here’s a sample of the incidents and projects I’ve helped manage under the Incident Command System:

• Operations Section Chief in ICS for drive-through Hepatitis vaccination POD-Point-of-Distribution – SEPTEMBER 2008
• Logistics Section Chief in ICS for walk-up vaccination POD-Point-of-Distribution of 10,000+ citizens in 5-days due to potential Hepatitis-A Contamination - FEBRUARY 2008
• Logistics Section Chief in ICS for 3-months following out-of-season storm that brought 2+ ft. of heavy wet snow, dropping trees and power lines in 3-county area and leaving 400,000+ residences without power. Event triggered $100 Million Federal disaster declaration and EOC activation that lasted for 2-years through recovery process. – OCTOBER 2006
• Command Staff for EOC Activation for East Coast Black-Out – AUGUST 2005
• Command Staff for EOC Activation for 7 ft. Snow Storm – DECEMBER 2001
• EOC Staff for deployment of 32 EMS Units to Ground Zero – SEPTEMBER 2001
• Operations Section Chief/Logistics Section Chief for Buffalo Bills Football Gameday Operations at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
• Resource Unit Leader/Regional Fire Administrator for several out-of-county deployments of local Fire and SEFUs (Storm Emergency Fire Units).
• Incident Commander for hundreds of structure fires, vehicle accidents, weather emergencies and virtually every other type of incident that a fire department responds to.
• Unit Citation - For rescue of a male trapped under a vehicle on NYS Thruway – 2004
• Chief’s Commendation - For rescue of three infants and two mothers from a flooded apartment and roadway – 1999

• Congressional Record - Recognition of Relief Effort for “Firefighters Under Fire” – Coordinated collection and shipment of gear and equipment to support volunteer firefighters in war-torn Bosnia – 1994

Nothing breeds success like success itself.

I developed a recruitment campaign that doubled my fire department’s membership and helped recruit 525+ new volunteer firefighters countywide. I’ve since trained hundreds of fire departments and more than a thousand firefighters to address their leadership and people-management challenges. I’d like to put my time and energy to work in making you and your organization successful.

Put me to the test.
