Mike Goldstein or “Stickers”. Hails from Milford NH. Love the fire service and forever a student of the craft of firemanship. I was born in Albuquerque NM, lived in Arizona for a while and then California, then finally settled on the Granite State. I pretty much grew up in Nashua, NH. I was a shit for most of my life…worked as a bouncer in a dive bar and even ran with a MC for a little bit. I always had a calling to help others though, and started my career in the first responder field in 2005 as a dispatcher for a private ambulance company. I met my future wife a few years later, and her father inspired me to become a firefighter.
I got my start as a “call firefighter” in 2012 and it was all over after that…I was hooked. Ever since I started the fire service, I wanted to know everything about it. In 2018 I was hired as a career firefighter and continued to find my passion for the service. I am a staff/state instructor for the NH Fire Academy, and a bunch of other certs. I’m married to a beautiful woman and have twin girls who are 14. I’m pushing 46 and have currently been with the Derry Fire Department for almost a year.
I’m very passionate about RIT, hose ops. I volunteer to help run the NH Explorer Academy every year which is incredibly rewarding. I’m also very passionate about mental health and leading a positive life style inside and outside the fire service
