Hi! I am Lance, a U.S. Navy veteran who proudly served as a Hull Maintenance Technician 3rd Class Petty Officer. During my tenure in the Navy, I wore multiple hats, showcasing my diverse skill set as a welder/fabricator, carpenter, first responder, and firefighter, among many other roles. My dedication was to maintain the intricacies of shipboard life, ensuring the safety and functionality of the vessel.

Following my service in the Navy, I transitioned to a new chapter as a firefighter with the SSCFPD, where I have dedicated over a year to a rewarding career, with nearly 2 1/2 years of service within the department. I find great joy in serving my community and being there for people on their worst days. As a first responder, I've learned the importance of swift action, empathy, and the impact a helping hand can have during challenging times.

Beyond my role as a firefighter, I extend my commitment to service in yet another direction – the home front. I take pride in doing my best for my customers, going above and beyond to bring ease when things go wrong. Whether it's a household issue or an emergency, I am dedicated to providing solutions and support. I understand that sometimes life throws unexpected challenges, and I aim to alleviate some of the stress that comes with those moments. Additionally, I strive to make a positive impact by offering discounts to those who are less fortunate, ensuring that everyone has access to the help they need.

I live by the motto "Jack of all trades, master of none, and that's better than a master of one!" This philosophy reflects my belief in the power of versatility and adaptability. It drives me to continuously learn and grow, honing my skills in various areas to better serve those around me.

In every role I undertake – be it as a Navy veteran, firefighter, or someone working to make a difference in people's homes – my goal remains the same: to contribute to the well-being of others, making a positive impact in the lives of those I encounter. I am passionate about service, and I look forward to the opportunities that allow me to continue making a difference.
