“Much of my free time was spent on completing the applied<br />
research projects for the course. Now that the course is<br />
finished, I’m looking to fill that free time back up with more<br />
advanced education,” said Fuller.<br />
Next, Fuller has his eyes set on <strong>The</strong> National Preparedness<br />
Leadership Initiative at the Kennedy School at Harvard<br />
University. <strong>The</strong> two part course with class time in <strong>December</strong><br />

knowledge, and abilities to effectively lead during crisis in<br />
the 21st century.”<br />

West Fargo Fire Chief the most is more intrinsic.<br />
“I’m passionate about serving the community. My whole<br />
career has been about that <strong>–</strong> serving others. As I’ve gotten<br />

fire station on 1st Avenue as he proudly serves on the<br />
Advisory Board for the Salvation Army, Sanford Health<br />
EMS Education, and the North Dakota Fire Chiefs<br />
Association along with being a member of the West Fargo<br />
Exchange Club. Previously, he has served on the North<br />
Dakota Firefighters Association Certification Advisory<br />
Board and the Professional Firefighters of North Dakota.<br />
“My favorite part of being on the Salvation Army board is<br />
seeing the way how that organization does the most good<br />

providing meals in their downtown center, to coats for kids,<br />
