BJ Baker for OSFA 3rd Vice

150 burgers worth of love to the teachers at Cherokee Elementary for Teacher Appreciation Day.

Shout Out to BJ Baker from TFD, and former Cherokee Brave, for cooking burgers and hotdogs for our staff and 5th graders today!! We appreciate you!

The Man, The Myth, The Legend . . . “The King” of Oklahoma Football, Barry Switzer is on TEAM BAKER, are you?

I responded to a structure fire and had a puff paint shirt that my daughter made for me on underneath my suit. So when I changed out to my bunker gear, the guys could see my puff paint and were hacking on me. My daughter’s message was to “Stay Positive”, which really is great advice. Stay humble, be grateful, and count your blessings.

HONESTY
As an attorney my word is my most valuable asset. I have hard discussions with clients on a daily basis where I can not sugar coat things to tell people what they want to hear, and I will not do that in my capacity as your representative with OSFA. I may not be able to always deliver the news that people want to hear, but you can always count on what I say being 100% truthful and honest.

Just as every fire department across our State benefits from the different experiences and expertise of it’s members, and uses different members in different capacities depending on their skill sets, the same is true for the body of the Oklahoma State Firefighters Association. My non-firefighting skill set is that I am an attorney. I have a doctorate degree and fifteen years of experience in negotiation, advocating for my client’s position, and analyzing law. These skills that I have honed as an attorney are the exact skills that board members utilize when serving businesses or organizations like OSFA. There is a reason that more U.S. Presidents, that more university presidents, that more bank presidents have law degrees than any other background. My skills as an attorney directly translate to the tasks and responsibilities expected of your next 3rd Vice President of OSFA, and are as follows:
Honesty
Integrity
Experience
A Servant’s Heart
