Ken Connolly

Paramedic

      Hey all, I come from a 1st responder/military family. Every since I was young all I wanted to do was to help people, so naturally I became a cook. While working as a professional chef, I kept having this feeling that I could be doing more. So I took an EMT class and took off running. 

   I was an EMT for 5 years before becoming a Paramedic in 2019. During that time I worked in a high call volume area that did not strongly support the mental health of their employees. I was excited to take the class and join the team, so I can help break the stigma that asking for help is seen as weakness. Hopefully this team can help you as it has helped me in the past.


   Currently I'm working as a Paramedic for Nelson and Vintech and  I'm also a volunteer for North Branford Fire Department Company 4.


   When I'm not working, you can find me still cooking, I tend to feed everyone around me. I also like to play video games and DnD.
