HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

THE STORY

My journey here began in late 2021, after working three seasons in wildland fire—two in dispatch, one on an engine. While forging connections in the tight-knit fire community, I began to see some of the various struggles wildland firefighters face—including lack of financial support during times of medical emergencies. By the end of 2021, I felt a profound calling to contribute in a unique and slightly unconventional way.
