A 20+ year peace officer, I have not only dedicated my life to protecting the future through years of working child crimes but through my service to the community, in law enforcement, scouting, and generally trying to help make the world a little better. I also honor the past, first in publishing my great-grandfather's memoir, but also in talking about and writing about the cases I have worked, the victims impacted and how we can take the lessons learned and pass them on.
