If you live an ordinary life, you will have an ordinary story to tell. I have endeavored to live an extraordinary life, and I hope you enjoy these extraordinary stories!
 
Sincere thanks to my beautiful wife Vickie and my beloved daughter Arielle, who have helped me celebrate my successes and blessings and learn from my failures, while maintaining their faith in me.
 
Sincere thanks to all of the amazing law enforcement people, both in the DNR and in other agencies, who have enriched my life- my partners, neighboring officers, mentors, some supervisors, prosecutors, judges and others who have in one way or another been there for me and made my life better!
 
And finally, sincere thanks to my parents and siblings, who did so much for me- you taught me to be tough; you taught me to never quit; you taught me to endeavor to be the best, and to do the right thing regardless of the consequences; but first and foremost, for instilling in me the grace of God and a humility in the acceptance of life’s challenges and blessings.
 
“Dear Lord, if I seem to lose my faith in Thee, please don’t lose Thy faith in me!”
