Jay graduated high school in 1974 at Wichita South High. He spent his youth traveling the United States with friends and living life. He had a passion for loving animals, especially dogs. It wasn't long before Jay discovered he liked helping people, it ignited something inside him to pursue a career as a Paramedic. That experience increased his knowledge and drive to become a nurse. In 1992 he graduated from Butler County Commit College as a Registered Nurse. After nursing school Jay worked as a trauma nurse in the ER at St. Francis Hospital (aka Via Christi). It was while working there in the hospital ER that he met the love of his life, Ginny Moon who was working for Sedgwick County as a paramedic.
