From responding to emergencies to transporting patients to local hospitals, my time with the Hull Ambulance Service was both informative and eye-opening.

Our foster care system plays an integral role in fulfilling this mission and connecting vulnerable children with families who are able and prepared to support their growth, health, and success.

Every day, families in every community of every state in our nation receive the devastating news that a loved one has died from a drug overdose. I have heard these stories firsthand from heartbroken parents who have lost children far too young and from families that, to this day, endure the wrenching pain of the empty seat at the dinner table. As a father of four, it breaks my heart. Tragically, these stories are all too common.
