Corrections began as a temporary job until I was old enough to become a police officer. Well…40 years on the job and I’m still here! I rose through the ranks from Officer to Superintendent through 15 different facilities and assignments. As I look back, my biggest mentors were professionals who cared about the staff and the inmates, and they held themselves to a higher standard than the rest. There was a human element in almost every aspect of the decision making. When I’m not working, I’m boating and spending time with my wife, adult children, grandchildren, and friends. Don’t forget Church!!
