Silas is a firefighter/paramedic with the Tucson Fire Department. Born and raised in Southern California, Silas has enjoyed the benefits of living both there and in Tucson. He doesn’t need an excuse to be outside, and that is what helped drive him towards his profession. Why does he go to work? To enjoy his days on and off the job. If you can’t find him at work, look for him mountain-biking or trail-running with his dogs. He loves lake life and enjoys getting out on the water on a Stand-Up Paddle Board. If he’s not paddling then he’s choking on water while wake-boarding or hiking in Northern Arizona. If he can have an opportunity to be outside and explore then that’s his day. That’s what he fell in love with in Arizona. He recently proposed to his longtime girlfriend and they’re planning a camping-style wedding.
