My law enforcement career began after I got out of the Army in 1978. I was hired by Shelbyville, a small Illinois Police Department and worked there for four years.
In May of 1982, I was hired by the San Diego County Sheriffs' Department. During my career with the Sheriff's Department I worked Detentions, Patrol, Accident Investigations, Motors and Detectives in Criminal Investigations.
After twenty-six years with the Sheriff’s Department, I retired in June 2008.
