2025 Company Officers

Coming soon!

Allen joined Enders in 1982 with no prior Fire or Rescue experience, other than being with his father (who joined in 1960) on calls. His mother was also one of the founding members of the ladies’ auxiliary and noted all training was done in the house back then. Outside of the firehouse, Allen worked with horses his entire life, growing up on Main Street (Berryville). He now resides just 3 miles from the station and enjoys spending his free time fishing, boating, and riding Harley-Davidsons. Allen has an amazing fiance Debbie and two Jack Russell pups that are their kids.

Mike moved out to Berryville in May of 2017 and went to a community outreach touch-a-truck held at our local high school. It was then at age 50 he completed Firefighter I and II (2020), followed by an Emergency Medical Technician Certification program. Mike works full-time out of Sterling and is an avid motorcyclist, racing on and off-road. He has 4 kids with his very supportive wife, Tori, who joined alongside Mike in 2020, as an auxiliary member. He is extremely grateful for the opportunity he has had to meet new people at the firehouse and helping his community.

Phil joined Enders in 2019 with prior firefighting/EMS background from Prince William County, VA. He started his volunteer fire/rescue path in 2002 in NOVA, working his way up through those department ranks to become a Special Operations Firefighter. He also was a contract Firefighter/EMT back in 2006 at Al Asad Air Base, Iraq. His family has a history of firefighters in it, one of which became one of the first paid firemen of Fairfax County back in the 1950s. Phil holds multiple certifications and is an Emergency Vehicle Technician who specializes in custom building of police and small fire rescue-related vehicles. Phil resides in Berryville with his wife, Kate. Outside of the department, he enjoys time on his small farm with his wife, visiting family, fishing, and spending time with their animals.

Josh joined Enders in 2022, just one week after moving to Clarke County with his family. Having been born and raised in rural Virginia, he wanted to quickly get involved with the community in a meaningful way. Josh is a CPR Instructor and recently obtained his EMT-B certification.

Van joined the company in 1978 and currently has completed 43 years of active service as a Line Officer, President, BOD Member, FFI-Driver, EMT retired, and numerous Committee chairs. Van has lived in Berryville his entire life and resides in town with his wife Lisa.

He currently works for a Defense Contractor in the Washington DC area. He enjoys riding his Harley Davidson cross country, golfing, and fishing while volunteering at Enders as much as time permits.

He owns his own business, Braithwaite Construction, and enjoys fishing and riding his Harley Davidson when not lending a hand at the station.

Coming Soon!

Chris moved to Berryville in June of 2004 and joined Enders the very next month. Having started with the fire service in 1975 as part of the Millville Community Fire Company’s Juniors program, Chris knew that there was no better way to put down roots in his new community than joining an organization of others dedicated to helping their neighbors in times of need. Chris first became an EMT in 1978 and took his first fire training in 1979. Though his EMT certification has expired, his goal is to recertify in the near future. Chris is the President of Loudoun Mutual Insurance Company. Chris and his wife, Diane, live in Berryville with their two loving boxer dogs. You may recognize Chris as the guy driving the fire department pickup truck playing what appears to be ice cream truck music. We’re sorry to disappoint you that it’s not full of tasty frozen concoctions, but we’d like to think that the Tangley Calliope is a cool sweet treat for your ears.
