Magento call customer first name in specific cms page

Question

I'm trying to call customer first name on one page. The page has already been restricted to logged in members only. So if you try to access the page and you haven't logged in, you will be redirected to login page.

How do I call, echo or display a logged in customer's first name on one specific CMS page?

I'm a noob trying to learn magento. Any help is highly appreciated.
