Dillon Misenheimer

Born in Baton Rouge, Dillon Misenheimer grew up surrounded by the world of EMS—his father began working with the department in 1998, and the influence stuck with him. After high school, he attended Northwestern State University, where he played on the drumline and pursued other interests before finding his way back to something more familiar.

Though EMS wasn’t his original career path, returning home after college gave Dillon the chance to explore the field more seriously. He quickly discovered a passion for the job and a deep appreciation for the difference it allows him to make in people’s lives—whether through life-saving interventions or small acts of care and kindness. Since 2019, he’s served as a preceptor, mentoring new EMTs and helping shape the future of the department he essentially grew up in.

Outside of work, Dillon enjoys spending time with friends—many of whom also work in public safety—and unwinding through tabletop gaming. He’s an avid Dungeons & Dragons player, finding joy in the shared storytelling and escape it offers after long, demanding days on the job.
