Started in law enforcement in Chicago, IL as a railroad police officer, commissioned by the City of Chicago. Promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. Assigned as a member of the then first criminal investigation bureau the Bureau of Special Investigation, which has evolved to be the current Division of Criminal Investigation. Was appointed as chief of police in Dickinson, ND upon retirement from the Illinois State Police. My classes are conducted through the use of PowerPoint, which is supplemented by hand-outs corresponding the current material being covered.
Lectures involve student participation and discussion.
I enhance my lecture by relating to personal experiences I have had as a police officer. As a board certified forensic document examiner, I conduct examinations of questioned documents for local law enforcement probono. I also conduct examinations for attorneys and other persons. I attend in-training seminars relating to questioned document examination. I am an active member of the Goldwing Roadriders Assn and take frequent motorcycle trips to various parts of the United States and Canada.
