Applied to become a Reserve Deputy Sheriff on the Mountain Rescue Team… Recruited to join the Sheriff’s Department full time.

Spent 26 years as a Deputy, Detective and ultimately Sergeant with the Sheriff’s Department.

Retired a bit earlier than planned…

Now my goal is to share the knowledge, perspective, tips & tricks acquired over the years to inform, protect and maybe even entertain
