I then became a member of the Tennessee Federation of Fire Chaplains and went through their training academy and went through the Critical Incident Stress classes for Individual and Groups. I have joined the Middle Tennessee Crisis Intervention Team and have served on several intervention teams to help fellow firefighters with stressful calls and help defuse the situation so they can continue to live a successful life. I received my preaching ordination from the General Baptist on June 24,2012. I enjoy what I do and get a feeling of satisfaction by helping ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.
