Todd B. Waldo joins City of Richmond Fire Lieutenant Keron Tull for a conversation about his journey from Guyana to Richmond and his career of service. They talk about family, fatherhood, and the drive to give back to the community. And what it means to learn and grow from our past and pursue a better future.

Keron Tull has been an active member of the City of Richmond Department of Fire and Emergency Services for the last 10 years. He has served in the role of Engine Company Lieutenant at Fire Station 11 located in Richmond’s Historic Church Hill community. Born in Georgetown, Guyana Keron immigrated to the US at an early age with his parents and after spending his formative years in Brooklyn, New York they settled in the Richmond area. After graduating high school, Lt. Tull joined the United States Marine Corps honorably serving during Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. Through this experience not only did he develop a true passion for servant leadership but also the ability to train and grow within a high-intensity team environment. The Marine Corps also instilled a drive for constant self-improvement, which propelled Keron to acquire his Bachelors of Science Degree focused in Electronic Engineering Technology. He currently volunteers as a Board Member of the Richmond Fire Foundation, the Executive Board of Brothers and Sisters Combined, and Advisor to the Urban League of Greater Richmond Leadership council where he previously served as Vice President. Above all else, Lt Keron Tull is first and foremost committed to his family, his wife Antionette and their four children Naja, Krystal, Dominique and Desean.
