"I started my EMS career in 1973 working for a combined ambulance service and funeral home. After several years, I decided to open my own Ambulance Service to turn my full attention to patient care and transportation. Over the years we grew into a well established and well respected ambulance team. In 1993 I sold my business to a large nationally recognized service, which I continued to operate in Canon City and Pueblo. I joined Thompson Valley EMS in the year 2000 as Division Chief of Operations. I was promoted to Assistant Chief in 2003, and became Chief of TVEMS in 2006. I take great pride in working with so many extraordinary public servants. I have spent the last twenty plus years witnessing and participating in the evolution of our growing and much needed industry. I strongly feel we must keep a clear vision. Our role as EMS is technically difficult yet purely simple.

We are just people...helping people.

We at TVEMS are reminded daily that we must never lose sight of our mission. I recognize the weight of responsibility as Chief, and I truly value and appreciate the awesome privilege it is to serve our community."

“I’m a Colorado native who has had the honor of serving in emergency medical services since 1989 in volunteer, private and governmental EMS services. I completed the St. Anthony’s Paramedic Program in 1991 and have been a practicing paramedic in Colorado since. I served for twenty-six years with the Denver Paramedic Division, the last fourteen years as Assistant Chief over operations and special operations. My experience includes multifaceted EMS leadership experience and a wide array of local, state and national committees and boards in EMS, public health, emergency management and emergency preparedness domains. I am committed to the growth and support of EMS and the people in it, and am honored to continue serving the public at TVEMS, an agency I have always held in high esteem, with people committed to the mission of caring for others in their times of need.”

"It is a true honor to say I have been with TVEMS since 1998. Over the past 22+ years, I have worked behind the scenes collaborating with Chief Randy Lesher to create a work environment that has raised the standards in EMS patient care and public service. My primary role is to coordinate the critical workflow within the organization. Each department has a significant role. We recognize and value each and every person who collectively contributes to our success. With continued education along with the quality control measures we have put into place, we have established a solid foundation between administrative staff and the front line crews. With this key structure component, we are able to provide the highest level of effective and efficient care for our patients. Our hand selected staff has grown from approximately 25, to currently over 80 employees. The entire TVEMS team is dedicated to the vision of exceptional and compassionate service, which creates a true sense of unity. TVEMS is an organization that is comprised of a group of people who have a genuine desire to support each other, while taking care of the wonderful people in our community. When asked why I have chosen to make TVEMS my home for all of these years, the answer is simple... It is the people. We are family."
