Earlier

I started working for the Miami-Dade Co Planning Dept. in 1963 as a Technical Illustrator and Photographer.  He transferred to the Miami-Dade Fire Dept in 1969 and worked though the ranks to Chief Fire Officer and functioned as a Battalion Chief.  He also worked in the Logistics Division as the General Service Bureau OIC.  As the Bureau OIC, my functional duties included managing the department's Mobile Equipment, Building Maintenance, Building Construction and various other supportive services. When Hurricane Andrew hit South Miami-Dade County, I was one of the lead Battalion Fire Chiefs from Cutler Ridge to the Monroe County line.  My Hurricane Andrew experience taught him a tremendous amount about the power of a hurricane and how to deal with the aftermath of a large scale disaster.  I retired from the Fire Service in 1996.  Also, I have worked with several water conservation – submetering companies which have given him insight into the cost of water and sewer systems and the importance of conservation.
