I grew up on the South Shore and right after high school, I obtained my EMT-B certification and then Paramedic license. I worked in EMS for 8 years until I sustained a spinal cord injury at age 26. From there, I transitioned into Medical Lab Sciences, now working in hospital laboratory leadership.

Joining the team at SAFE as a Narcan Trainer is incredibly exciting for me because Narcan saved my life. As an opiate overdose survivor now in long- term recovery, I profoundly understand the importance and urgency of increasing the supply and knowledge of Narcan in the community.

When I’m not working, I’m spending time with my beautiful wife and two amazing boys, working out at the Y, or watching the Pats!
