Marc Perez Candidate for the Wildwood City Council - Ward 3 *****Election day is April 6th 2011.*****      Marc Perez believes public service is a privilege.  His dedication has been demonstrated since the age of 16.  Marc Perez began his service as a volunteer fire fighter while in high school and continued as a volunteer until he completed Nursing School in 1975.  While in school Marc was also certified as an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician).  He taught Standard and Advanced First Aid for the American Red Cross and CPR for the American Heart Association.  Marc Perez went on to receive his license as an R.N. (Registered Nurse) in 1975, and became the 78th licensed Paramedic in the State of Missouri in 1976.  After some time with the fire and rescue service and working also in hospital ICUs (Intensive Care Units), Marc Perez returned to school once again. Marc went to Danville, Virginia to attend The Memorial Hospital (Danville Regional Medical Center) School of Nurse Anesthesia for an intense two year educational program and became a C.R.N.A. (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist) in 1979. Nurse Anesthesia has served as his primary occupation.  Marc is employed by an anesthesia group, working exclusively at St. John’s Mercy Medical Center.              Marc, his wife Marianne and daughter Cheryl believe public service and helping others is a natural and healthy part of life.        With a history of service which is unblemished or influenced by outside sources.  Marc continues his service to the public which began 40 years ago.      Life experiences help to form what sort of person we become as we grow.  From giving the first breath of life into the lungs of a new born baby who was not breathing from the start and seeing the last breath taken by the dying, Marc has learned to appreciate the time we have on this earth.  It is a responsibility to share the gift of life and enhance the quality of life for those with which we share our comminity.       Marc served as a Planning and Zoning Commissioner and presently serves on the Wildwood Ethics Commission for Campaign Finance. (Will resign upon becoming a City Council member)      Marc has been attending Wildwood City Council meetings for the past few years, speaking before the Council, presenting information, supporting ideas that are good and speaking against ideas that are not.      Did you see the guest book on the first page?   If not, please go back and sign the book.  Thank you.                                        Paid for by Marc Perez
