Serving The Community
Gold Ridge Fire District has grown from many small volunteer departments into a modern, unified district. As a former Hessel Volunteer Fire Captain and Retired Petaluma Battalion Chief, I worked on the Board to staff our stations for 24/7 rsponse reliability while preserving and growing our volunteer ranks.
With your vote for Gold Ridge Fire Board of Director I will continue to exercise smart and frugal spending while bringing our newest stations, equipment and personnel the finest upgrades we can afford.

Historical Achievements
The New Gold Ridge Storage and Training Building
2026 Hessel Station Remodel
My family has been working hard for generations to improve our communities emergency response.
My mother Agnes ran the telephone tree for dispatching emergency calls from my childhood home. The "Old" Hessel Station is built upon my parents property.
In 1976, I helped spearhead the building of a new Hessel Fire Station where it still resides today!

2026 Hessel Station Remodel
In 1976, I helped get the Hessel Station built to replace our old one on the family property.
With the rapid growth of Gold Ridge Fire District I voted to remodel and expand the Headquarters Station.
The firefighters now have amazing living quarters, bathrooms and sleeping quarters. The remodel added much needed administrative space and was also added to the station.
