My name is Michael Petullo and this letter is to inform you that I am running for the Board of Trustees for the Cedar Mountain Fire Protection District. Please allow me a few moments to tell you a little about myself.
I reside in Elkridge Estates on 66 Wapiti Dr. and have owned this home along with several pieces of property on Cedar Mountain for approximately 5 years. I also own a home in Las Vegas Nevada and spend about half of my time there with the remaining time on Cedar Mountain.
I have a Bachelors of Science Degree from the University of Nevada Las Vegas in Sports Medicine with a minor in Business Management and also a Master of Education Degree in Educational Leadership; also from UNLV. I had continued my studies in the business area with a Master’s Certificate in Project Management from Villanova University in Philadelphia Pa.
I worked for 18 years on the Nevada Test Site training Federal, State, and Local Emergency Responders nationwide is Radiological Emergency Response Operations and also served in the National Emergency Response Program. I currently work for the Department of Energy Headquarters in the Emergency Management Field, and also for the Federal Emergency Management Agency during Nuclear Power Plant Exercises evaluating off site emergency responders. I travel a bit doing these jobs and hence, live in Las Vegas on occasion for easy access to the airport.
I am certified as an Emergency Manager by the International Association of Emergency Managers.
I have had experience working on boards in the past as the President of the REECo Employees Organization and as the President of the Nevada Emergency Preparedness Association. I also was an on call supervisor for the Las Vegas Chapter of the American Red Cross.
I am hoping you will take the time to vote in the upcoming election and consider me to fill one of the 7 positions on the Board of Trustees for the CMFPD.
The reason I am running for the Board is because I have been involved in public safety for the last 20+ years of my life.
Duck Creek is a popular tourist area and needs the infrastructure to support it, thus I am looking not only to maintain the current emergency services but also add to it with minimal costs, but increase revenues.
Thank you for taking a few moments of your time to read a little about me.
