Thank you for your interest in working with me.
Over the past several years I have had quite a few irons in the fire, which is to say that I have diversified my work in order to meet the need of the wildland firefighting community. However, these are my main focal points:
- Critical Incident Training and Education
- Fire Culture
- Wildland Firefighter Advocacy
- Writing about the above three bullets, and a smattering of other topics
If you have inquiries about speaking engagements, presentations, critical incident based trainings, or Hold and Improve please feel free to connect with me via email at: theevolvingnomad@gmail.com
