Chief Lawler began his EMS and Fire service career in 1994 as a Volunteer with Campo Fire & Rescue. He attended the Palomar Fire Academy in 1996 and completed paramedic school through Southwestern College in 1998. In 1999, he was hired with San Miguel Fire & Rescue where he has promoted through all ranks. He completed his Chief Officer series over 10 years ago.
Chief Lawler has a passion for teaching and has done so as an instructor for Miramar College where he too went to school years ago.

He feels that teaching has been a way to give back to the career he loves and that has been so good for him and his family.
