Mr. Siers is currently an Advanced Course Instructor for the Defense Health Agency at the DOD Medical Education and Training Center's Combat Medic Specialist Training Program (CMSTP).
Mr. Siers has operated in Emergency Medical Services since 2000, working and volunteering with various large and small EMS agencies. He was a volunteer with the Davis County Search and Rescue team helping in mountain rescues. He holds instructor certifications in the Air Force, Army, DHA and credentialed in over a dozen different EMS education courses. He is currently certified as a Remote Paramedic, NRP, and Texas Paramedic.
Before Emergency Pre-Hospital Medicine took over his life, Mr. Siers retired from the U.S. Air Force, serving over 20 years, included ten combat and humanitarian deployments working in the Joint and Combined Joint environment with a camera. From motion picture to video tape to direct hard drive capture, his experiences spanned the gambit. Studio production? Check. Instructional products? Check. Field documentaries? Check. Home station? Deployed around the globe? Check and check. On the ground and in the air, he got the opportunity to see and do a lot. One of his big passions was flying. He spent years teaching other cameramen how to be aircrew. He ended his military career at the peak as an Aerial Instructor/Examiner Combat Videographer.
Writing fiction started from the desire to read something different, something other than the standard 'prepper fiction' formula. He wanted it to not be a technical manual. His heroes had to have flaws, be human, not always be right, have the right answer, and the right tool and everything right there when they needed it. He wanted the women to be strong and do more than be just a pretty face having to be explained to. Good thing, otherwise, his wife would not help him.view less
