: About Me

I have done part-time freelance writing for several years, authoring articles which were published in specialty market magazines. I recently published my book of poetry "The World through the Eyes of a Cop", available at Amazon.com. My areas of interests are law enforcement intelligence, criminal intelligence analysis, distance learning and education, poetry and teaching.

My passion is ...

my family, my work (in that order)

I know too much about ...

PDA's, useless bits of information (how many feet are in a mile), songs no one sings anymore, leveraging technology

My parents always told me ...

One day I'd be a professor

My childhood ambition ...

to be a detective

My favorite memory ...

the births of my sons

Why I write ...

because I have a need/desire to express myself and share what I know with others

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I'm reading Longarm, and a new James Patterson book

My first job ...

Drive-in Theater, Ramp Guard and Assistant Manager Concessions

My best moment ...

hasn't happened yet, but every moment is better than the last

My inspiration ...

the Bible
