Fire Chief 

It is a pleasure and an honor to serve the citizens of Watertown as well as the professional men and women committed to the safety and well-being of those who work, visit, and live in the City of Watertown and surrounding area.   Our team is dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of every individual we serve. 

We understand the importance of preparedness, prevention, and community involvement.  Our department continuously trains and strives to equip our staff with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to respond to any emergency and prevent further harm.   We strive to take a proactive approach to mitigating hazards within our community and surrounding areas. 

I am eager to be back in the City of Watertown!  After serving the city early in my career, I have had the opportunity to grow and learn from a neighboring organization.  However, returning to Watertown feels like home and the future is bright as we embark on this next chapter.  I am committed to fostering a healthy, collaborative, and engaged organization that is ready to protect and serve the citizens and businesses in our area.  The new fire station, training facility, and commitment to community outreach, sets our department up for success to meet and exceed the expectations of the community and standards for professional fire departments in Wisconsin.

Thank you for your continued support and trust in our efforts and work as a fire department.  Together, we will build a safer and stronger community.
