- i am a native of palatka, fl. I am a good man with a big heart. my dream since i was a kid was to become a fire fighter/paramedic. my pastor of my church once told me that i had a purpose on earth. God said one day i will do great things. ever since then i wanted to help people. then i got a chance to see the great men and woman that were fire fighters and EMTs. so its a dream of mine and i hope to find people with the passion i have for the safety and service of others.
