Since 1989, multiple EMS & Ambulance services have utilized him for the ordering of their supplies. I have worked off and on for Austin County EMS, both as a part-time and full-time employee, since 1995.
In 2017 I was promoted to Logistics Coordinator. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I was able to get not only our service, but multiple law enforcement agencies much needed PPE. I also sourced PPE for local nursing homes in the county as well.
