I'm retired after thirty years as a police officer with the Norfolk Southern Railroad Police Department at Cleveland, Ohio. I started as a Patrolman at Buffalo, New York, was promoted to Lieutenant in charge of the Lorain, Ohio field office, and since 1992 as officer in charge of field operations for the Cleveland Division Headquarters Office at Cleveland, Ohio. After leaving the police department in 1999, I served for two years as an Agent/Investigator with the railroad casualty claims department. Now, I ride my bike, walk on the treadmill daily and golf as often as possible. I am married (48 years) and have one son.
