When Jordan Allen-Dansby was 12 years old, he suffered a tragic loss: His father, 1st Lt. Dustin Shumney, was killed in action while serving in Iraq.

As the oldest child in his family, Allen-Dansby became a role model for his younger siblings and also took to heart his father’s assertion that a life lived for others is a life worth living.

In fact, Allen-Dansby decided to pursue his dream career — working as an emergency medical technician for the Austin Fire Department Cadet Academy — because he felt taking care of patients and making a difference in his community best honored his father’s heroism.

Today, Allen-Dansby is well on his way to achieving this goal. He’s a junior pursuing his EMT certification at Austin Community College.
