I have too many interests to describe. If I am interested in a topic or something catches my attention, I'll write about it. This includes sports, law enforcement, hobbies, charities, etc. Odds are if it isn't one of those topics, it will be something else! I have lived in Stoddard County since 1991 after moving from Ste Genevieve Missouri. I currently reside in Bernie, but have also lived in Dexter. I spend my free time with my two sons, John (9) and Rylan (6), and my girlfriend Courtney. I also have a 15 year old daughter, Olivia. In my free time I enjoy photography which coincides with my love of cemeteries, doing charity and volunteer work, and running 5K's. I am also a big sports fan (avid St. Louis Cardinals, Dallas Cowboys, and San Antonio Spurs). I am a volunteer for the Red Cross and I also participate in the Missouri Special Olympics Polar Bear Plunge yearly. Last year I received my amateur radio license (Call Sign: KD0TNU). I also love to write, however lately it seems I don't have much time for it. (This year Myspace wiped out between 200-300 of my blogs). As a family we love to run, hike, watch movies (we are big Star Wars fans!), and attend concerts. Although we live in Bernie, we call Liberty Hill Church in Aid our second home. When I am not doing any of the above activities I am the Chief of Police in Essex.
