"Jimmy John" Thorpe

If I could make a documentary about any topic, I think that I would make it about one of my firefighting instructors "Jimmy John" Thorpe. He is the craziest, most outgoing person I have ever met, and even though he is like 70 years old, everything he says is traced with humor. He has been the World Ropes Champion three years in his lifetime, and has been all across the world. The stories he tells are absolutely amazing, and he has so many experiences from inside the fire service that no one else on Earth has to tell. I think that it would be extremely interesting to learn about not only his life in the service, but also outside of it, and even if you have no interest in firefighting or ropes training, he is an extremely interesting person, and everytime he speaks, he captures your attention.
