I have come a long way in life and my work experience is a true testament to that fact. I began working at the age of 11, with my brother Brendan, then 13, at the family owned and operated private ambulance company known as ‘Power Ambulance.’ It was a very successful business that was started by my grandfather Teddy in 1945, the year that World War II ended and the year that my mother Geraldine was born. The up and coming company soon became a powerhouse in the field of E.M.S. when passed down to Teddy’s two sons in the wake of his early death. I had absolutely no idea what I was getting into at first, but after one learning experience in life, comes another one. The family business would then be threatened in the fast-paced, economically booming year of 1995 with the challenge of the onset of a fearful ‘nationally’ based private ambulance company named ‘FMR’. My two Uncles then merged their successful company with two other private ambulance companies to become ‘Tri*Medic Transport Incorporated.’ It was this magnificent Merge that gave birth to my story and my experience. I have painstakingly captured the wild animal that is the sheer calamity and hilarity personified in the realm of the private ambulance culture. It is a world all its own and only those that belong to it can truly understand it. Buckle your seatbelts and enjoy reading Code 3: The Rise & Fall of a Private Ambulance Empire!
