I am a 5th generation Arizonan, I have lived all around Arizona but since Jr. High I grew up on a cattle ranch in Linden, Arizona just outside of Show Low. I Rode Bareback Broncs and Saddlebroncs in High School rodeos around the state during my younger years.I also played football Jr. High through High School. I became a lawman at the age of 21 started in Show Low, Az and then Arizona Highway Patrol. I have served as a patrol and administrative sergeant and as a captain. I have currently been assigned to Internal Affairs for over two years. I have served as a Field Training Officer, General Police Instructor, RADAR and LASER Instructor, I also served in the Hostage / Crisis Negotiations Unit and served as a sergeant over that unit as well.

I was married for 20 years and we raised five wonderful children. I have been single and divorced now since 2011. It is scary starting over in this day and age. But I have to give it to God and hold on to Faith, knowing it all is part of his plan. I was proud to be a husband, a father and best friend. I like being down to earth and I love to laugh. I consider myself an old fashioned kind of guy and believe in solid values.

I enjoy the outdoors, camping, fishing and getting some hunting in when I can. I love the Great White Mountains of Arizona.

I love fitness and MMA...my sons both are fighters and have their own careers, One daughter is a School Teacher, the other is a Medic and another is a licensed Nurses Assistant. I do my best to eat right and stay fit. I consider myself in good shape...took awhile to get back on track and I am not stopping now. I have a love of horses but got out of the horse business about three years ago. I love to write and think up stories constantly. I can be uncanny with poetry...must be the Irish...I am currently working on one book and is soon to be published around March 2014...hopefully I will take off with the others....that first one I heard is always the challenge. Live, Love and Laugh...words to live by.

Most of all in my life right now, I know, I love my family, kids and my grandchildren. I am grateful for every moment I have to spend with them. I am looking for my soul mate and life long love, I am missing you in my life.

Life can throw you so many curves...good times and bad...happy and sad. Stay true to yourself and love those that truly care about you and love and care for everyone you meet. Stay focused and follow your dreams....look at every obstacle as a tree...take your axe of determination and keep chopping the tree...it will fall. Look at everything else as ...it is what it is and move on...always forward and with faith.
