Best known as Chik to his friends, we welcome veteran Chicago firefighter Deputy District Chief Steve Chikerotis to the show as we discuss life, leadership, and the importance of mentoring in the fire service.
Chik also shares his work in the motion picture industry, where he started as a consultant during the filming of Backdraft, and today, as a producer, writer, and actor on the hit NBC show Chicago Fire.
We thank Chik for taking the time to come on the show and are already planning a second episode dedicated to expanding on the mentoring process and the mental health and wellness issues we face as a profession.
Check out his book "Firefighters from the Heart" available from Amazon:
