Dear Mr. Richards,

I am very interested in joining the WMI as an instructor and hope you will consider me as
a candidate for your next instructor course. I’ve lived in Arizona since 1994, and have
loved the outdoors since I was a boy growing up in the Texas hill country. I took the
WUMP course through a friend, Pete Walka, and loved every minute of it. I would very
much like to work for your organization teaching people about medicine in less than
perfect circumstances.

The majority of my wilderness experience comes from the Marine Corps where I was
stationed in the Philippines, Okinawa, and on ship for three months with brief operations
in Australia, and Indonesia. When stateside, I participated in extended operations in the
desert environment of Twenty-nine Palms, the hills of Camp Pendleton, fighting wild
land fires in Washington State, and counter drug operations in Angeles National Forest. I
now enjoy hiking, biking, and camping with my family and friends around Arizona.

I originally became interested in medicine in the Marine Corps, where I had the
opportunity to serve as a company aidman (equivalent to basic EMT) for the latter half of
my four year tour. I have been in the EMS field for 12 years now with Life Line
Ambulance Service, and have been teaching EMS full time for the past three years, and
part time since 2004 with Yavapai College. I have also served as a tactical medic with
Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office since 2004. I currently oversee all BLS programs and
teach full-time in the paramedic program.

Sincerely,

Steve Rollin
