We Thank Captain Henry for his service.
“My name is Jason Henry. I am a Fire Captain with Rural Metro Fire Department with 17 years of experience serving the county islands and unincorporated areas throughout the Phoenix valley. In addition to holding the rank of Captain, I am also a paramedic, HazMat technician, SCBA technician, Lead Instructor and Union Officer. I am married to my wife Kelly, and we have 4 adult children. One of our boys was diagnosed with Autism approximately 10 years ago. He has since graduated high school and moved on to successfully hold employment and live independently. We are proud of all of our children, and are truly grateful for our family’s achievements”. Quote: Captain Henry, Rural Metro Fire Department.
Ezekiel will also learn valuable vocational work experience as part of the internship, including learning about design elements that go into product packaging, and learning how to present his ideas and artistic talent to the public at our next community outreach event at Jesse James Comics In Glendale.

Ezekiel looks forward to his first major event representing himself as a professional illustrator intern artist at our Focus Comic booth. The internship opportunity is designed to develop Ezekiels artistic technical drawing abilities, help him build his self confidence and self esteem by giving him a platform to present his art at a mini-comic con environment, and work on his presentation and public speaking skills. We hope to uplift him and give him the best experience being a professional artist intern at our booth. Please join us at Jesse Comics in Glendale, August 3rd from 4-10pm. 5140 W Peoria Ave #100, Glendale, AZ 85302. Ezekiel would love to meet you and receive your support, positive attention and encouragement. The vocational work experience will have a positive impact on young Ezekiels life.
