Personal

About Me:
I started my LE career at home at the Meriwether County, Ga Sheriffs Department in 1987. It was a great start and I'll always be thankful to Sheriff Dan Branch for giving a young kid a chance! I joined the Marine Corps in 1988 and served actively until 1993 as a Military Police Officer Traffic Accident Investigator. I was a Sergeant when I got out. I farmed and trucked from 1993 when I got out of the Corps until 1999 when I decided to get back into L.E. I got my first L.E. job in Illinois at Illinois State University Police Department, but left in 2000 to go to the McLean County Sheriff's Department, and I am presently employed full time. I have worked at 4 other police departments here in McLean County part time since joining the Sheriff's Dept. These are Stanford, Danvers (I still work here), Heyworth and Hudson. In 2006 I completed my bachelors degree and joined the IL Army National Guard as a 2LT. It took my all of 2007 and the first of 2008 to finish my officer schooling, but I am now the platoon leader of third platoon Crusaders 233D MP CO in Springfield, IL. I am divorced with two great kids both boys. The oldest, Jake, graduated high school in May and will be attending St. Ambrose University in Davenport, IA on an academic and football scholarship beginning in August. My youngest, Justin, is a black belt in taekwondo, motorcross rider, and high school football player. He injured his knee on the motorcycle a couple of months ago and underwent surgery about two weeks ago. He is doing very well and although football is out for this year, he will be back in the saddle before you know it! I love them both more than life itself! I am in a committed relationship with Link member dpdhmfic and we have been living in sin for the last 6 years! She is a great gal, a wonderful person, an excellent cop, and the love of my life!
Hobbies:
Riding motorcycle
Favorite Music:

    Alaska is beautiful, very different to Africa but makes you appreciate both all the more. If you ever shoot out this way let me know! =) Cheers bro!
