Accomplishments

Worked with new and old officers in many drug enforcement cases and apprehensions. I have been through multiple tactical operations training courses for SWAT operators. I have been part of a K9 team for the last 4 years with continuous K9 training and operations. I continue to try and learn new things from old and young officers as I know there is something to learn each and everyday. I've attended many different classes/ courses fromK9 handlers schools, K9 seminars, Edge weapon defense, Tactical Firearms (DM training), and drug interdiction. I spent the greater part (25 years plus) wrestling and training future wrestlers. I was in the USMC after I departed College and before I began my law enforcement journey/career.
