Always with a smile, Lafontant "Raymen" Dorival has the ability to get people excited. From his early roots in the church, his presence and his passioned delivery of the spoken word, Raymen is for lack of better words a motivational speaker in the highest sense. He consumes those around him, finding the words needed to pick a Brother up, to motivate the unwilling and a true proponent of the Fire Service. When he was new to the fire service, he didn't have the ability to even understand the most basic tasks within the job until he stepped foot in the academy and firehouse. Lacking prior knowledge of the job, he found his way through hard work, determination and finding mentors who could help guide him in his journey. Admittedly, Raymen says he only became a fireman after year six, a pivotal time in his career when he realized he had to go all in on the fire service he fell in love with. His journey is inspirational and his passion and love is infectious. Known for his speaking engagements, classes he teaches and his social media channel, The Way of the Nozzle, Raymen is making an impact and doing it as a constant gentleman with a big ass smile!!
