A step into retirement allowed him the opportunity to reflect, take pen in hand and write You’ll Never Believe It.

He has worked as a Law Enforcement Consultant for the Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training in Nevada and served as that agency’s academy commander.

He holds two Masters Degrees in Instruction Leadership and Educational Administration; and, has provided police training to thousands of law enforcement, correctional, probation and investigative personnel in giving testimony in civil disposition, administrative hearings, and the courtroom.
