Another incredible year at Firemanship 2026! 🔥🚒

Meeting some incredible people from all across the U.S., learning, sharing stories and making memories with some great people in the fire service.

From winning the truck pull 🏆, checking out Chicago and the firehouses, to taking in my first Cubs game at Wrigley Field ⚾️ — this trip was one for the books.

A lot of laughs, a lot of memories, and an incredible week in Illinois!

Firemanship 2026 🔥 Until next year!

Three conferences over the last week.
This week was packed with powerful conversations, meaningful connections, and next-level inspiration.

Met some amazing people, shared what we’re passionate about, and walked away with even more fuel for the fire.

When purpose drives your hustle, it never feels like work.

📍 Honored to Visit the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum 🇺🇸

Today, I had the humbling opportunity to visit the site of the Oklahoma City bombing, a place of remembrance, resilience, and reflection. Standing where history changed forever on April 19, 1995, I was reminded of the strength of a community that came together in the face of tragedy.

The museum’s powerful exhibits and the serene outdoor memorial truly honor the 168 lives lost and the countless heroes who responded that day. It’s a place that teaches us about the impact of violence, but also about the enduring spirit of unity and hope.

If you ever have the chance, I highly recommend visiting to pay tribute and learn from this chapter of American history. #OklahomaCity #OKCNM #WeRemember #HistoryMatters #Resilience by @aa_rand94

🚒🔥 Firehouse Training at the Oklahoma Homeland Security Hazmat Conference! 🔥🚒

We had an incredible time attending the Oklahoma Homeland Security Hazmat Conference, where industry leaders, expert instructors, and first responders came together to share knowledge and experience. This event, now in its third year, was expertly organized by Oklahoma State University (OSU)—huge shoutout to them for their outstanding service and dedication to hazmat training!

From in-depth discussions on hazardous materials response to hands-on learning with the latest safety techniques, this conference was an absolute game-changer. The knowledge and connections we gained will help us continue delivering top-tier training to first responders and industry professionals.

A big thank you to everyone involved—looking forward to next year! 👏💪 #FirehouseTraining #HazmatConference #Oklahoma #OSU #FirstResponderTraining #HazmatSafety #HomelandSecurity by @aa_rand94

When I purchased this coin, I wanted to help make a difference with someone else struggling. Getting a personalized note really leaves me speechless.
