On The Job Funniest Moment: I’m not a fan of black cricket bugs. While working a fire dept shift at station #7 the crew was informed of my dislike for cricket bugs. While sleeping in my dorm room the other crew members thought it was a funny idea to capture a few large jars of big black crickets. They waited until I was in a deep sleep and opened my door to release the jars of crickets. This was a rather rude awakening to crickets chirping and crawling through out my bed and entire room. RUDE AWAKENING!
Most Impressive Item Moved: I was the crew lead on a very high end expensive life size Trojan horse relocation. The item needed to be relocated from a jewelry store to the owner’s house. The Trojan horse was gold plated and covered in many different jewelry pieces. We moved the item without flaw and received a hefty tip from the owner.
Brush with greatness: I was given the opportunity to attend the Fox NFL Sunday Broadcast at the Fox Studios. Had the honor to shake hands and pose for a photo with Jimmy Johnson, Howie Long, Terry Bradshaw, Kurt Menifee, Micheal Strahan, and Jay Glazier.
