Jordan Stark and Nate Sarver - The Rocky Road from Roscoe

Chief Brendan Parker

Sat down and discussed WFRD's past, present, and future with Brendan. I had a great time and am very grateful he was able to get out to the garage. We dove into our culture and discovered it had been building for a long time, Brendan just popped the lid and let it out!

Jordan Stark and Nate Sarver - The Rocky Road from Roscoe

Nate and Jordan have a lot of experience and offer great perspective. Give this one a listen if you want to get to know these two guys a little more. This was a good one!

Jeff Lesniak - Family First

Spoke with Jeff Lesniak today. Had a great time learning about his progression into and through the fire service and where he still wants to go. He lays out his priorities and the importance of family from the start. It was a great conversation and we have plenty more we could talk about. Unfortunately, we didn't get to share any of the bourbon he brought so the next one's on me!

Scott Wessel

Another good conversation. Talked with Scott Wessel and learned a ton about what makes him the person he is today and we recapped some of our Union history together. We ended discussing the importance of family and Wessel shared a story about me that leaves me embarrassed this day.

Erik "Jimmy" Bobula - Failure is not an option

That's Jimmy with a K. Had a great conversation with Bobula. We discussed the hurdles he faced when starting out and explored the perseverance it took for him to get to where he is today. Even life changing medical concerns will not stop him from being a Firefighter. Jimmy provides a great lesson in resilience that we all could use. Then I beat him in a round of golf.
