DR:How long have you been teaching/attending FDIC International?
SC:I attended my first FDIC conference in 1985. I was a Chicago firefighter and at the time assigned to Rescue Squad 2, one of the busiest companies in the city. A couple of us took the drive down to Indy to see if we could learn more, and we weren’t disappointed. I’ve attended every year since to both take classes and teach classes. I became an instructor about that same time and began teaching classes at the Chicago Fire Academy and IFSI at the University of Illinois and also taught college fire science classes at Harold Washington College. I taught my first FDIC class in 1989.
DR:How did you get into instructing in general?
SC:我一直是游戏的学生。像大多数消防员一样，我想成为最好的，我生命中有很棒的榜样和导师。在芝加哥消防局，副区负责人（RET。）委员会委员会，副区酋长（RET。）基因Callahan和副专员（RET。）Pat Kehoe多年来一直是我的导师和榜样。还有很多人吸引了我，我想对他人做同样的事情 - 这是我对教学的动机。
DR:让你的经验在FDIC国际美联社art from attending other conferences?
SC:I have taught classes at conferences in almost every state and many in other countries, but my favorite conference every year is FDIC International. It is the largest conference in the world, well-organized, and attracts the best of the best from around the world. FDIC afforded me the opportunity to rub shoulders and become friends with legendary firefighters likeAlan Brunacini.，雷下，狮子座斯塔普隆，Bobby Halton.那Vince Dunn.那约翰诺曼那John Salka那Rick Lasky和比利的戈德菲德，命名几个。有这么多人在FDIC见过的其他男人和女人，他们把我的生命丰富了作为一个消防员和男人。
DR:What was your reaction to being selected to keynote at the Opening Ceremony?
SC:当鲍比·哈尔顿召开并询问我是否会在FDIC International 2020年提供主题演讲报告时，我被吹走了。它是我职业生涯的伟大荣誉之一，因为那些在我面前的人而且是因为令人惊叹的男人和女人参加。它是一个有机会分享从40年的消防员职业生涯中存储的知识。我不会轻易借此机会。
DR:What do you think is the most pressing issue facing the fire service today and why?
SC:我在过去40年里，我有一个前排座位观看消防服务 - 主要是为了好，但总有挑战。我相信我们面临的最大危险来自今天的建筑施工和产品的化学化妆品 - 这与我们仍有工作要做的事实。我们仍然必须在火场上处于侵略性，以拯救生命和财产。我们宣誓。为了解决这些危险，我们需要在我们的策略和我们的决策中找到。在过去的40年里，我将解决一些努力为我工作的贸易伎俩。我称之为“减慢游戏，比赛。”
