Bio 

Soon after returning home from the military I began in the oil field as a sales rep, but too much travel got old and I entered municipal law enforcement and worked up to an investigator. I worked for several years with the city and took a position with the state as an investigator, until I retired as a supervisor four years ago. During my spare time while working, I went to college and grad sch. After getting out of the Army I got married and worked in the oil field as a service rep. until 1975. In April 1975 I became a police officer rising to the rank of detective and earning officer of the year honors in 1979. I left the police and went to work as an investigator for the State of Louisiana, rising to supervisor. I retired in 2009.
