| About Me | Since graduating from high school, I have lived a varied and exciting life. Initially, I started college majoring in Criminal Justice. After a term and a half at Miami-Dade, I enlisted in the United States Air Force. I spent 9 plus years in the Air Force working as a Crew Chief on B-52's for about 3 years. I then was transferred into Headquarters Squadron where I worked in Job Control; we controlled, scheduled and coordinated all the maintenance on our aircraft. I was assigned to Grand Forks AFB for 8 years and 1 1/2 to March AFB. Although I was only assigned to these two bases during my career, I was TDY (Temporary Duty)numerous times, visiting some very interesting places. After the service, I embarked on a career in Law Enforcement. My career spanned almost 30 years. I started as a Reserve Police Officer with the Colton Police Department in Colton, Ca. Next, I moved back to Florida where I became a Police Officer for the Fort Lauderdale Police Department. I spent 22 years with the department, 7 as a Patrol officer and the remaining 15 as a Detective/Investigator. I retired from Ft. Lauderdale Police in Sept. 2004 at which time my wife, Diann, and I moved to Virginia. Mt retirement was short lived as I went back to work for the Radford Department of Police, in Radford City, Virginia,on the 27th of Sept. 2004. I spent my entire career here as a Detective/Investigator and Crime Scene Investigator. Finally on April 1st, 2009 I again decided to retire and am still retired as of this writing. Currently, I have gone back to school to finish my degree. I am majoring in Criminal Justice Administration and hope to graduate in the fall of 2010. Plus I once again left retirement and returned to work. I am now the Fraud Investigator for the Montgomery County Department of Social Services in Virginia. It seems like I just can not stay retired! I am married to the most Wonderful Woman, Diann. We celebrated our 12 year anniversary in April and could not be happier. Between us we have 5 grown children, 3 girls (oldest) and 2 sons (youngest). We also have 3 granddaughters and 2 grandsons. All still live in Florida except the youngest daughter who is currently in the US Navy working on Aircraft Electronics. The youngest son, Richie, will be has enlisted in the Marines and should be in Paris Island sometime in May 2010. When we moved to Virginia, Diann and I bought a 20 acre farm, with 2 ponds, an old barn, and a home that was literally built around an 1820's Wormy Chestnut Log Home. We have 3 horses and just love the peace, quiet, and slower pace of country living. I hope this finds all well with all of you and feel free to contact me through here or F...(read more) |
