Morse (born August 23, 1997) is an American executive and Independent politician who currently serves as the Vice Chairman of the Board of Fire Commissioners for Pittsgrove Township District 3 since 2017. He has also served on the Executive Board for Centerton Fire Company and is currently a Lieutenant for the Fire Company.

Early Life
Morse was born August 23, 1997 in Woodbury, NJ and graduated from Schalick High School in 2015. He joined Centerton Fire Company in 2013, and served as a junior member until graduating from the Fire Academy. Morse and his family currently are starting a wedding venue.

Fire Service Career
Joining Centerton Fire Company in 2013, he quickly rose the ranks. In 2018, Morse was appointed Captain 2 under Chief Ed Myers Jr. After the resignation of the 1st Assistant Chief, Morse was put in place as acting 1st Captain. In 2019 Morse was appointed to the position of Lieutenant to assist in administrative duties and shore up support for the new Chief (Ed Myers Sr.)

Morse had been actively involved in the executive board since 2015, serving as Acting Secretary. In 2016 Morse unseated incumbent Secretary Kathy B. a post held since 2004. The same year Ed Myers Sr. had been elected to the position of President, unseating incumbent George Cousin whom had served one term. The same year was CFC's 50th anniversary and Morse along with a committee headed by Sean Henderson organized and ran all events. During this time the young vs. old duel within the ranks had become clear. Myers Sr. had shored up support for his cause, maintaining the traditions and integrity of the past, while Morse and other wanted to see change be brought to the firehouse. In 2017 Vice President Nash Hetzell and Secretary Morse ran on a ticket as President and Vice President, agreeing that it was all or none. In a close race, Myers Sr. kept his seat and in a extremely controversial turn of events, upon winning the Vice Presidency unopposed, Morse immediately resigned, making him serve as Vice President-elect for only three minutes. Morse took 2017 to win the Board of Fire Commissioner seat, and serving as Clerk of the Board. Once again Morse and Hetzell decided to run as a ticket in 2018. Once again agreeing to an all or none scenario. Due to a complete stagnation of progress in the past year, Hetzell and Morse won, both opposed by Ed Myers Sr for President and Robert Larkin as Vice President. He would also be nominated and elected to the position of Chaplin. In the year as VP, the company faced more stagnation in a year of inability to move passed the extreme amount of hatred and anger by the "old guard" of the fire house. After July, Morse rescinded all new policies, and began developing a plan to work together with the "Old Guard" to allow the wheels of progress to begin moving once more. At the end of 2018, Morse announced he would not be seeking any reelection for the executive board. Morse though would be nominated for Sgt. at Arms, and would be elected, against Robert Larkin by a 2-1 margin. While the "old guard" would take the VP position and would be in control of the line officers, in 2019 Morse still holds a large amount of influence and has manged to move past the stagnation of the past two years, and with the help of many other people, and even the old guard managed to bring the breakfast back, while making more money then ever, increase social media presence, and implement many new policies that are in line with a modern fire department.

Political Career
Morse would be elected to the Board of Fire Commissioners as Clerk of the Board in 2017, and would serve as the Vice Chairman for 2018 and 2019. Morse in August of 2019 would announce he will be running for reelection as a Republican in 2020.
