Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

After retiring from law enforcement in 2006 I moved with my children to Fair Play SC. While they attended school I volunteered for such things as Rotary, Fair-Oak Recreation, School District of Oconee County and as a Special Minister as St Paul the Apostle Catholic Church. I also served two enlistments in the Provost Marshal of the South Carolina State Guard and currently hold a commission as an Advanced South Carolina Constable. I have earned four college degrees and several law enforcement certifications.
