Bio

I recently retired from the 139th SFS after a little over 30 years of service. I held positions from entry controller in the late 80's to Operations Superintendent before retirement. I am the first person in the history of the 139th SFS to complete the USAF EST course. I was a civilian Deputy Sheriff for 15 years serving on the SWAT team for 9 of those years. I spent 15 years as a Deputy Sheriff for the Lafayette County Sheriffs Department. I started in the jail, worked my way to the road. I spent 9 years on the Crisis Action Team (SWAT). I held positions such as sniper and entry team member. I was one of 2 NRA certified hand gun shotgun instructors for the department. I was a member of the West Central Missouri Rural Major Case Squad, where I worked on over 3 dozen homicide cases as a detective.
