Personal Information

User Bio: In my younger days I was a volunteer firefighter for Morgan Acres, and Spokane Civil Defence Fire Department. We supported Spokane Fire on 2nd and 3rd alarm fires. I spent several years in Explorer Search and Rescue, before going into law enforcement where I worked three years in uniform, including two years as a deputy coroner, so I've seen death. I spent 12 years working undercover drugs, during that time I did a lot of damage to people, and their families. So I became a speaker for LEAP, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. I got my ham radio license in 1980, along with an interest in emergency communications. I spent a year working on an ALS ambulance, and a year doing psych transports for the ambulance company. I was trained as a Mobile Intensive Care Unit Paramedic at Daniel Freeman hospital in Inglewood California during the 1984 Olympics After moving to Arizona I spent 5 years as a volunteer for the Bullhead City Crisis Intervention Team. Today I live with my wife in a small town in Western Arizona, Dolan Springs.
Personal Statement: We need to stop destroying the lives,families, and children over drug use. If it's a problem then it's a medical problem, not a law enforcement problem.
