Hi, my name is Don.  As my parents would tell you I got my first interest in Emergency Medicine as a kid watching Johnny and Roy on the TV series "Emergency".  I started my medical career as a high school volunteer in the Emergency Room doing many of the things now done by ER Techs.  The summer after graduating high school I became an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and landed a job doing scheduled transports.  Paramedic certification came in 1984 which started a long career in education as well.  I have also been involved in many other aspects of EMS through ongoing committees.  Being the "baby" of the EMS community; Paramedics, Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT's), and Emergency Medical Responders (EMR's) don't have the auxiliary support units such as fire and police do.  As one of the founders of the MN EMS Charity Riders, I am proud to say our goal is to do what we can to change this by "Supporting those who help you".

Hi, I am Diane Rollins. I began my medical career in the 90's as a medical assistant working for an urgent care clinic as well as in the medical clinic at the county jail.  I advanced my medical career by becoming an Emergency Medical Technician and working at Allina Medical transportation.  I then became and EMS instructor at Anoka Technical College.  An injury ended my EMS career in 2008, but I still have a great love and admiration for the EMS profession.  With that and my love for motorcycles I have joined this group to give back to the "family" that gave me so much.
