During the orientation, employees learn about company philosophy and goals, quality assurance, and policies and procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tom Carey: \u00a0<\/strong> FULL TIME, EMT. My name is Thomas Carey and I am 22 years old. I lived in East Hartford until\u00a0I was 11 years old and then moved to South Windsor. I have always had a passion for helping others which is what drove me to public safety in the first place. Growing up I wanted to be everything a veterinarian, a zoo keeper, and even a paleontologist. Animals are one of my biggest passions in life. When I was in high school I was in a program called Kids N\u2019 Critters, where we brought snakes, turtles, tortoises, lizards, toads, and frogs to elementary schools to teach children about the animals and what to do when they see one. I have handled all sorts of creatures, from snakes that are larger than I am to even alligators. I wanted to become a police officer for the ASPCA to protect animal rights, and that\u2019s when I began my education into criminal justice at Manchester Community College. I also joined the South Windsor Fire Department and realized\u00a0how much I enjoyed being a fireman. Since my membership I have completed Fire 1, Fire 2, and have been chosen to be a member of the departments Rescue Squad. My career choice had changed and now I want to become a Career Firefighter. So now here I am a member of ASM and I couldn\u2019t be happier to be working in a field that I want to be in. Although the job will take up much of my time I am still looking into volunteering at an animal shelter of some kind as well as being involved in the fire service.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Jeff Hornish:<\/strong> \u00a0FULL TIME, EMT. My name is Jeff Hornish. \u00a0I am 55 years old and live in South Windsor. I have a daughter who is an EMT and works at St Francis Hospital&#8217;s ED as a tech, and a three year old grandson (who calls me &#8220;B&#8221;). \u00a0Born and raised in South Windsor, I enjoy camping and hiking. \u00a0I went through a number of jobs until I found my career in EMS. I started as an EMT with the South Windsor Ambulance Corps on 8\/8\/2001. \u00a0Over the years I&#8217;ve had many pleasant experiences working with ASM employees on intercept calls. \u00a0I am very happy to be able to continue my EMS career working with those same people. \u00a0I am very impressed by the professionalism and camaraderie here at ASM. \u00a0I also plan to advance my career by becoming a Paramedic at ASM.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tom MacLean:<\/strong> \u00a0 FULL TIME, EMT. Hello, my name is Tom MacLean, I\u2019m 24 years old and live in Vernon CT. I graduated Xavier High School in Middletown CT and went on to study Business Administration at Fordham University in the Bronx, NY. I did some volunteer work in the Vernon Fire Department in High School and really enjoyed the experience as a whole. In college, I became very business-minded and stepped away from EMS for awhile, but always missed the passion I felt in providing a service that really helped people. After working in\u00a0the insurance industry for a couple years after school, a great opportunity opened up for me to complete my EMT certification. I went for it, and could not be happier with my decision. Outside of work, I like hanging out with my two boxer dogs and just having a good time. I\u2019m a big New York sports enthusiast, and have always been a life long Yankee and Jets fan. Recently, I\u2019ve also gotten pretty big into boxing &#8211; I love the discipline and it&#8217;s a great work out. I look forward to working at ASM and can&#8217;t wait to get to know everyone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Keith Ringuette:<\/strong>\u00a0 FULL TIME, EMT. Hello my name is Keith Ringuette. I am 22 years old and I am from Eastford, CT. I recently graduated with my Bachelor\u2019s Degree from the University of Connecticut in Allied Health Sciences and I\u2019m excited to have a career in the job field I have been studying. Before UConn I attended Quinebaug Valley Community College where I graduated with Honors with my Associate\u2019s Degree. I have lots of hobbies that include reading, playing videogames, and playing or watching any kind of sport. I obtained my EMT-B in 2012 after taking a course with Code One in East Hartford, CT. Both sides of my family have always been heavily involved in the medical field helping others, with their licensure ranging from LPN to Physician. I hope to continue my family\u2019s legacy by getting experience as an EMT-B which will help me with my future goals of becoming a PA or nurse. If I were to get into graduate school I plan to join the military on scholarship so I can travel all over the world to open my horizons to the healthcare situations in other countries. My ultimate goal would be to become a PA in Orthopedic surgery aiding surgeons with surgical procedures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Joey Startup:<\/strong> \u00a0 FULL TIME, EMT. My name is Joey Startup and I live in East Hartford. \u00a0I come from a firefighter background in the CT Air National Guard. \u00a0I&#8217;ve served for about 11 years now and will retire at my 20 year mark. I&#8217;m proud to have served four\u00a0tours. \u00a0About five\u00a0years ago I started practicing as an\u00a0EMT at the\u00a0professional level working for a commercial service in Meriden for about four\u00a0years before making the\u00a0move to ASM. \u00a0I am currently attending school in MCC getting my prerequisites finished for a nursing career. \u00a0I have a dog named Sasha that is my life and is spoiled to death. \u00a0I am very excited to begin my career at ASM and get to know the ASM team.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANCHESTER \u2014 On July 31, 2014,\u00a0five EMTs were added to the ASM team.\u00a0As part of our continued growth ASM and Aetna seek out only the best candidates.
