Why do you believe the local hero should be recognized or honored?

Recognized as he goes above and beyond. Is a full time college student who got on the Dean's List last semester. This semester is on par to achieve it again. He currently wakes up Monday-Friday at 6 a.m. to help a family with two boys babysit because he wanted to help a family in need during his extra two hours home before going to Farmingdale State College. Then on top of those two things he works for Plainview Hospital as a hyperbaric technician, working alongside the most ill people in a hospital environment. He has been an awesome and outstanding member of society because on top of this, he is a volunteer member for the Plainview Fire Department. How much more active can you get?

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the local hero?

Full time college student, volunteer member for the Plainview Fire Department, works for Northwell Plainview Hospital as a Hyperbaric Technician, and working Monday-Friday 7-9 a.m. helping babysit a family in need on his extra time before starting his day.

Thank you for all you do, Bradley Drebsky!
