He shared his stories via the " Behind the Mic - Stories from the trenches" podcast. With the addition #IAM911 movement, he asked others to share their stories anonymously. The stories were gut-wrenching, with some occasional happy moments. The majority are hard to read, but that's what is real. These stories are a window into the world of the 9-1-1 Dispatchers.
