My name is Travis Jensen, I've lived in the Central Valley my whole life and currently live in Kerman with my wife and 2 kids. I started my career as a EMT and volunteer firefighter where I worked my way up to a full-time career firefighter position. My hobbies include, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, riding motorcycles and playing guitar.

My name is Aaron Pleschner. I am 25 years old and was raised in the Bay Area. I grew up playing sports my whole life which drove me to join the fire service, to continue to be in a team atmosphere. I moved to Fresno after meeting my fiance at San Jose State, where we now live with our 2 dogs. I look forward to serving the North Central community.

My name is Justin Newquist. I was born and raised in Clovis. After graduating from Buchanan in 2014, I pursued a sports administration degree from Fresno State.
