Why I'm Building This
As a father, my mind never stops.
I'm constantly pulled in every direction trying to take care of my family while taking care of myself.
My son is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. I got a call that my son needed his EpiPen. Thankfully, family was with him. But that moment hit me like a freight train — what if no one was there?
That question didn't leave me.
I grew up in Inglewood. My dad was on the Inglewood City Fire Department — its own department back then. I remember walking door to door with him, collecting signatures, petitioning for LA County to take over fire services. I watched one man drive real change. That never left me either.
As a young EMT, I started at McCormick Ambulance in Inglewood. Worked at Centinela Hospital. Did my paramedic internship at Fire Station 171 — right back in the same city that raised me. Fifteen years in EMS. Every disaster, every mass casualty, every call where seconds matter — they all run into the same wall. The information isn't there when you need it. The system fails the moment it's tested most.
I've seen parents who couldn't find their children. Kids with no way to tell a stranger about their allergies. Families separated with no way to reconnect. These problems shouldn't exist in 2026.
So I built what should already exist. A system to help you manage yourself while you manage your family — because if something happens to your child and you're not there, the system around them should be.
I call it Safety For Generations.
And if I'm going to put it on my own kids, I'm going to make sure it's firefighter/paramedic grade, husband grade, and most of all — father grade.
