Fish1552 has been a resident of Southeastern Georgia since 1997. He is an volunteer Area Manager for Waze consisting of the southern half of Georgia below Macon. He lives in the Ludowici area and works on Fort Stewart nearby.
He started using Waze on 16 February 2011 when he got his Droid 1. Sometime around early 2014 he began editing when he noticed that none of the navigation devices or apps had the new E-911 addresses in their system. He was able to help fix that on Waze so he began volunteering to help out. Sometime around the end of September, beginning of October 2015, the Southeast regional volunteer leaders of Waze bumped him up to Area Manager.
Outside of Waze, he has worked as a firefighter at the Fort Stewart Fire Department since 2004 and was a volunteer firefighter from 2001 thru 2013. He co-owns a horse stable with his wife since early 2015, that boards & half-leases horses, gives lessons, trail rides and does pony parties and local events. He also enjoys gaming, working on projects in his workshop, the outdoors, and anything electronic.
