I'm a full-time student working on my MSCC (Master's of Science in Clinical Counseling). My goal is to earn my masters in counseling. My area of interest is in the Criminal Justice system working specifically with those who are incarcerated and/or on probation or parole.

I make my home in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and I have two beautiful children; Christopher, age 36, and Chad, age 29.

My area of interest is law enforcement... a profession very dear to my heart. While I grew up wanting to be a cop, for personal reasons I was unable to pursue my dream. I dedicate my life to supporting the men and women who so valiantly serve and protect this great nation.

Each of us benefits from the constant watch that members of law enforcement provide. In the frightening moments when we must dial 911, we do not likely give a second thought to the law enforcement personnel who respond – to the fact that they may have family and loved ones just as we do, and that they choose a career that frequently puts them in harms way. I urge you to visit www.odmp.org. The heroes whose names appear paid the ultimate sacrifice for doing their jobs enforcing the laws and protecting citizens. I will never forget them nor will I let them be forgotten by anyone.

Many thanks to those who leave flowers and tokens... your kindness will never be forgotten.
