“As an athlete my whole life and firefighter for 20 years I have seen the effects our society’s cultural ideal of manliness, where strength is everything while emotions are a weakness; can have on young men and our communities as a whole. My career has introduced me to some of the most heroic and brave people in the world while providing me with an equally impactful view of the darker side of humanity. I see how a career in the front line emergency service takes its toll and I have witnessed close friends and brothers begin to change and harden. Now as a Deputy Fire Chief I have the privilege and duty to hire our recruit firefighters. A comprehensive program like this one will help prepare our young men to be men of character with the resilience and tools to succeed in anything they do”
