Cofounder & CTO
Advisory Board
Assistant Chief Mike Long (Ret.)
Chief Long has been a firefighter for over 50 years. During his tenure, he led Monticello Volunteer Fire Department to an ISO Rating of 3 — a rarity in the volunteer fire service.
His illustrious career in the fire services is highlighted by his Silver Smokey Bear Award for fire prevention and Florida Fire Chief of the Year Award from his peers.
"I know the health problems that firefighters struggle with, leading to early retirement and untimely death. While there have been efforts to encourage healthy diet and exercise for firefighters, no one has solved the critical stress-related component. I believe that EaseAlert can finally offer a proactive solution to that stress."
