Staff Testimonials

Clint Clausing

Project Specialist - Systems

“I like being a part of a big deal. IFSTA’s a big deal. As soon as you get out among firefighters in our conference or on a photoshoot, you start to realize just how important this organization is to the fire service, to the world. We’re this wonderfully well kept secret that’s just a really big deal and that’s inspiring to be a part of.”

Reinaldo Sanchez

Project Manager - Production

“I was a Fire Protection student at OSU…Traveling to different cities and fire stations, I would always see an IFSTA manual there. The first day I was hired here was my proudest moment… realizing I’m in that dream place, working where I wanted to be working. People’s work here is known all over the world."

Adam Finley

Stock Clerk - Warehouse

"I was visiting family in Iowa and we were at Smith Lake fishing. A firefighter and his son came up and asked if I worked for IFSTA. I replied “Yes, I do.” He shook my hand and said, "Thank you for what you do." Knowing that we are known all over the world for what we do is incredible, and makes me very proud to work here!"

Sarah Palmer

Product Specialist - Editor

"As part of a product’s promotional video, I visited Norman Fire Department, Station 9, and helped with filming and interviewing fire service professionals. I also got to talk to the firefighters on shift and watch as they came and went from their various calls. It's one of my favorite work memories."

Jessica Busby

Digital Curriculum Developer

"Getting certified as a Level I Fire Instructor gave me the opportunity to not only have a better understanding of the presentation of our materials to the public, but more impactfully, it provided me with a better understanding of who our audience really is. It introduced me to several new friendships that I cherish and gave me even more confidence in my abilities to serve our fire community."
