Personal History About Me:
My HEROES are My Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, (Me,Myself, & I " LOL"), and My Peeps still standing strong and those long gone from this earth that made a remarkable difference in my life.
An accomplishment I am proud of: Serving the community as a public safety professional and being awarded the Silver Star and Bronze Star for bravery. (At least that`s what they said) "LOL"
I have finished my career with law enforcement but I still feel like I should be involved. Other ways perhaps. I believe in staying fit by weight training and Israeli Self Defense/ Martial Arts.
I have had the opportunity to travel abroad to Japan, Phillippines, Hong Kong, Kenya, Thailand, Korea, Singapore, Australia, Perisan Gulf, and Canada. I also hope to visit Europe and the Mediterranean.
I have also managed to visit some of the U.S. near & far to Anchorage, Alaska. Los Angeles, California, San Francisco, California, Dallas, Texas, Chicago, Illinois, New Orleans, Louisana, Las Vegas, Nevada, Memphis Tennessee, Kansas City, Missouri, Leavenworth, Kansas, Atlanta, Georgia, New York City, Phildelphia, Pennsylvia, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Mississippi, North & South Carolina, West Virgnia, Virginia, and of course Washington D.C on a personal field day excursion.
I will conclude by saying I have been blessed and continue to be blessed with a good life and good friends that know I am dependable, caring, a great listener, humorous, and willing to help when I can because someone took the time to be there for me when I needed it most.
I firmly believe for each person you help in this life, there is a blessing waiting for you when you need it most. Be willing to give your best efforts daily, make a difference, and receive what is rightfully yours. Love, Peace, and Blessings to the planet.
