ABOUT JEREMY FULLER

Jeremy comes from a line of firefighters as his grandfather, father, brother, and cousins have all spent some time in the fire service. He is currently in administration as the Training and EMS Captain at Little Elm Fire Department in his 22nd year of service in the fire service. Jeremy says, "Over the years of seeing what my father has gone through in the fire service, then experiencing my own 20 years of filling the plate, I have become passionate about providing much better mental and physical health resources for our first responders."

About 4 years ago he met Dr. Heather Twedell and they started working together building a program for Little Elm Public Safety. The program worked well, and soon other agencies started to contact them to learn how they could do the same thing. Jeremy also assists Dr. T in two 3-day Conferences a year and continues the passion for sharing these resources with other deserving first responders.
