I'm a firefighter for the City of Hopkins MN, and a father of 4 boys. This year I visited Israel for the first time and was overwhelmed with love and affinity for the people there. It seems like so much of the world is against Israel, but I have been there and I know they are wonderful people. I'm honored to be able to serve Israel and support them with my skills and abilities. I love working at Hopkins Fire, it's a great team that is second-to-none. Been here ten years and look for to the next ten or more.
