Meet Our Staff!

Jeffrey O鈥機onnell: EMT Instructor and Mentor听

Jeffrey O鈥機onnell has been with the district since 2016, serving as the EMT Instructor and Facilitator. He oversees training for both the EMT program and the Fire Academy, finding great joy in mentoring students. 鈥淪eeing students become good technicians and later helping others in the public is incredibly rewarding,鈥 he says.

Fun Facts About Jeffrey

He鈥檚 petrified of thunder and lightning and admits to being a germaphobe.

One of his most spontaneous moments? Driving 12 hours to Phoenix after buying Fiesta Bowl tickets on a whim.

In his free time, Jeffrey enjoys hiking, trail riding in Roseville, and unwinding with his two dogs under a weighted blanket while watching football. He鈥檚 also contemplating earning his private pilot license, following in his son鈥檚 footsteps.

Guiding Philosophy
Jeffrey鈥檚 approach to teaching is shaped by patience and flexibility, understanding that students learn at different paces. He lives by the advice, 鈥淏e yourself; everyone else is taken,鈥 and is inspired by Anthony Bourdain鈥檚 motto: 鈥淒on鈥檛 lie about it. You made a mistake. Admit it and move on. Just don鈥檛 do it again.鈥澨

What鈥檚 Next?
Jeffrey looks forward to seeing his students succeed in national certifications and pursue careers in public safety. His passion for mentorship and dedication to his students make him a valued leader in the district.
